I have to say there's been a few times where new people jumped into LEO or even Hive and they provided quality content. However they sold everything lol idk just something to me when I see someone powering down huge amounts and not staking any just feels like an exit and not really providing value to the platform so my vote weight either stops for that person or is greatly diminished.
I feel like I've been here from the very start with a year break however due to the mess that happened. But all that time it was about working with others, building content and commenting on others as well as voting for others. There's a lot more to Hive/Leo besides simply writing great content and expecting people to come.
The whole "Build it and they will come" just doesn't work. It takes consistency, quality and willingness to devote time, money and resources to something. This is a growing business when you think about it.

Great point!
And yep, I have had exactly the same experience with who I choose to support with my own upvotes.
Now I get that we're all here to make money... and the only way to make money is to cash out.
That's the ultimate goal.
But you can definitely make money and still show you support the future of the platform by taking a stake.
If you truly do believe in the long term value of Hive/LeoFinance, then you will want to keep that initial investment anyway.
It's what's going to allow you to earn an income off the top after all!

Many people have that attitude in Web 1.0 and Web 2.0, and they fail there, too. Marketing needs to be involved, yet it's a skill people haven't acquired. It's an underrated skill, yet it's what's needed to grow any business of any kind.
At least for tokenized blogging, it helps to have a built-in audience; we just have to put ourselves out there consistently and provide value as best as we can to our fellow Hivers and Leos. Relentless engagement is how we do most of our marketing here, but other forms or marketing exist as well; we should learn those skills too.
