HIVE system is really simple... If users with high HP want to reward engagement more than long-form blogs, no one is stopping them.

It's just that most curation groups focus on long-form content.

That's facts brother so this solely relies on the curators like I said in my blog today

Yes... In some days I get more value from upvotes of a few users on my comments than I do with long-form posts. If more curators focused on rewarding threads/comments, that will be the norm.

Yes indeed and in that way many will shift to engagement

it's a double edge sword,as i do a blog post every day but i try to make sure to add other things as well, including leoshorts and random posts but at the end of the day we are all doing what we think is best

You're absolutely right on that.. I think my new perspective is just to allow everyone to feel free and do what they love on the platform. If someone wants long form then I say Go for it. If they want to engage I'll say kudos. Everything should probably be natural
