I get it, there is no need to return here if all it's about is the peanut crumbs.

I totally agree about the "big wallets can post anything" but that is fighting against a natural sense of selection and preference that is not a problem in Hive specifically but happens in all of life.

Yes, the big wallets get the most attention, but the other people who get a lot of attention are people who interact with multiple big wallets as well as smaller wallets.

In reality, the company or person that has lots of money and nice things generates more interest from others than someone who has less money.

It's either that or the "lesser wallet" must add more value in time and service.

We constantly have those values in our minds to judge whether or not we spend time with other people. I am not saying you only want to spend time with extremely positive millionaires.

But, I would like to point out that the average working person does not go out of their way to spend time with a penniless beggar who does not work to better themselves despite you assistance and the assistance of others give them. Eventually, you will avoid the person if all they do is take your assistance as an easy-out to buy more drugs and ruin their health.

We can draw parables of kids on the playground or of men and women dating. It's a sense of value for time, either in things, a good experience, or both that attract people to one another.

Therefore the big wallets can post about their day in the town and the sandwich they ate at the coffee shop. Not only do they attract the attention of their peers, but that of hundreds of accounts that want to interact with them.

If I posted the same thing, I might not get noticed.

The only way that I can counter these ideas is to engage with others and support a sense of Community in the circles I keep in Hive and support people large and small. I have managed to x2,23 my HP since the beginning of the year.

I saw and read your post because someone recommended you. You are a South African. You also had recent posts to read and to read that you managed to get to 375 comments on a post is amazing!

This post HERE of mine has managed 269 comments so far. So I really liked your idea. You got flack for it on Steemit, but there is a competition that is run once a month that I know about that pretty much follows the same type of rules. Comment numbers running on certain multiples win the prize... Let me see if i can find it and I will send it to you.

Lol. I hope what I have written above comes across as supportive and encouraging, because that is what I am seeking to do here. I agree with you about the big wallets earning the most. Though I do know how to make what you earn on Hive more than it is now... for certain. Tried and tested methods!

You were interested in how to "hack the system" before 😉
