Bitclout/Deso is similar to Hive where it is a content publishing platform, but there is no reward pool/inflation and everything is tips.

No one tips outside of the ones who got a massive share of the initial supply and they mostly just pass it along to their group. The default "single click" tip is $0.01, which is used a bit, but still is fairly rare.

With inflation, users will be happy to distribute rewards as it doesn't cost anything, for a tip culture to be successful, we are going to need millions of users with very influential users at the top. Tips are always going to be less than 1% of the user base, probably more like 0.1% or less. I have no incentive to open my wallet and send a tip for some pictures of flowers or a post telling me about the top posts today on Leo Finance.
