I don't think stuffing the chain with 'data' has much benefit. We need users and actual content. I'll keep on doing what I do as it's fun.

We get to spend more on disk space! Isn't that what everyone wants to do?!?!?
Almost all our problems are solved by more users.
Yeah so many doors open to us with more users.
People, not other forms of users.
Yes.
I have wondered about this for many years. Will the technology that Hive utilizes support a huge user base? If a miracle happened and 1 million users appeared tomorrow, would everything still work? (Sorry I am not talking about specifics concerning the technology, but I am still pretty clueless when it comes to that. That's why I'm just trying to ask it in oversimplified terms).
It still works great but needless bloating for a tiny chain is not good.
Sorry for not clarifying. I didn’t mean in connection with this auto posting. I just meant in general. For a long time it seemed that the tech wasn’t there for a huge influx of real users (I mean going back like 7 or 8 years). That seemed to be the reason for not trying to attract content consumers. But if HIVE has the tech, I don’t understand why the community is not trying to bring in creators with a medium sized following- basically what looks like a big following on YouTube or TikTok or whatever those crazy kids use nowadays but is not enough of a following to truly monetize it. Someone who has a good following who would be happy getting $100 per day. And then perhaps use the community fund to supplement that. Encourage them to bring their followers over.
Hive can handle a lot more than it has now. It is just silly to create so much bloat for a handful of users.
As for why people are not bringing on users, because it is extremely difficult and time consuming. It is unlikely anyone will make $200 a day in post rewards consistently (required to get $100 in author rewards). Even that is t squat compared to what well known users can make elsewhere.
I am not sure what the cutoff is for actually making money on YouTube. I’ll research it later but I thought it was a pretty large number. So we don’t need to land a huge fish. We don’t even need a big fish. If we got someone with 100,000 true fans and encouraged them to bring them here, I would imagine it would make a huge difference. Heck even 10,000 is something. And if I’m not mistaken there is a community fund that could be used to encourage such a creator to bring their audience here. I have always wondered why we don’t use that fund to bring over a few creators with x number of fans. (Still not sure what that x needs to be to be possible and wise).
I think we need to lower our sights to someone who is popular enough to have a following but not popular enough to make significant money.
Let’s say they make $50/day without missing a single day. That’s just over $18k. You can’t even get someone to mention Hive on a single podcast episode for $20k.
