Yes but in terms of "trying hive as an investor" you're not going to get as much attention for your brand/personality/content/whatever if you're relying on using your voting influence to bring in likeminded people to your thing. Sure there's other accounts and projects that'll help you get your posts to trending or more visible but I meant in terms of using hive as attention generation.
We've also seen in the past that people matter, there's been accounts like theycallmedan who with stake have received tons of attention continuously then we've had other whales who may not have used theirs as well and barely any attention was generated/people realized they're kind of full of shit, etc.
