I understand the frustration as well. What a lot of people don't see though is that if the HIVE price goes up, that means there are more rewards in the rewards pool to distribute to content creators. Something to keep in mind too is that original goal of the rewards pool was to reward content that was adding value to the project and helping the value of HIVE go up. Content creators have the burden to demonstrate to stakeholders that all the "content" they are creating is actually helping to drive the price up too.
