As someone who comments more than posts, I'm intrigued by your ideas about improving Hive engagement using better incentives for comments. Especially…
One way Hive can improve engagement on Hive is by actively curating comments on Hive. This simply means having a group of curators who search and reward decent comments the same way we curate content. There are a handful of powerful curation groups that can implement this idea and I believe it will improve engagement on hive.
My initial thoughts are that this would be much better done through a community. As opposed to tinkering with Hive's base-layer tokenomics. For example, the LeoFinance community has completely changed the way we see comments with Threads. But I don't think we need anything so radical. Just a group of like-minded Hivers who want to curate comments in preference to posts. Who could then work together to provide contests, curation trails, and other incentives.
Obviously, there is a lot of work required to establish rules and procedures. But I would definitely be up for contributing to a comment-curating community in any way that I can.
productivity tools. That is by far the biggest reward I've got for writing on Hive. Yet it was also one of my most enjoyable pieces because I really felt I was part of something bigger than my own ramblings.I would be really interested to know the thoughts of @macchiata on this. Because she paid me the astonishing sum of 5 Hive for commenting about
I agree. As I mentioned to another commenter, I use Hive as an umbrella for other dapps--leofinance, ecenecy, etc.
I understand this is an open-source project and participation is volunteer, but it will take more than people's goodwill to move the dapps further. They need to be run like a business by being efficient and profitable.
I am open to other people's viewpoints. I will also check out the initiative you mentioned. Thanks for stopping by.
