The rewards are too small. Unless you're already comfortably wealthy to feed yourself for months as you slowly get a pizza or HBD thrown at you here & there and then get lucky enough to gain enough followers without angering the spam police, who will down vote you to oblivion if you don't follow their made-up rules.

Sorry to be negative but I've seen countless excellent photography accounts struggle to get more than 15HBD on any of their posts.... And it dwindles over time until they give up because their time & effort never end up at least meeting the payback.

Productive people don't like their time and effort being wasted. Hive depends too much on the handouts of a few, very judgmental & entitled users/admins.

I like hive. I love block chain. But this is your problem. People don't take this place seriously when an expensive photography venture only gets them a loaf of bread, a gas refill or some new clothes.
