I think of a couple of other things:

• comparison is the thief of joy. People look at their post. They look at someone else's post. Then they compare upvotes and $$. They say...look at that...my post is way better than their post, but I didn't make nearly as much or get as many "likes". This place is bullshit. I'm leaving!

• quality of content. Folk come, look around for a very short time, and decide there isn't much quality content and are gone. They never spend the time to connect with, or find the content that could really interest them.

Most don't understand the true social aspect of Hive. The community and relationship side of Hive that is developed over pouring time into learning and growing within the system and user base. Likewise, we as the community (I'm look at myself here) aren't always great at shepherd along new users and helping out. Certainly I think the CTP community does that better than most honestly.
