Why do we want to you YT for reference? There are heavily censored and editorialized with views that have been sanitized for advertisers.
Considering Hive's content rewards are not exactly subject to these whims. They should be considered more valuable so a 1:1 conversion doesn't work. Even so, our rewards are still likely dwarfed by YT due to their institutional support but we have certain intangibles that put us at an advantage.
We have the ability to support free speech for not only the unbanked but also the DEBANKED.
This is what I wish Hive would lean into more. Being a tailor-made platform for dissidents rather than continuously trying to win over the mainstream.
It's like trying to push the square peg in the round hole considering Hive's unique use case.
