Agreed, and yet - I enjoy the conversations found in Hive. It helps that unless I understood incorrectly, comments are also "posts" of themselves. There is therefore little physical limitation for your comments to get reach. How often do you see people on mainstream social media go "I wanna see the comments on this", even though the likes on those platforms are essentially worthless?

In other words - be the change you want to see :) There is potential here. It's the community that should step up, and make the comments an interesting ground
