I think Splinterlands has helped the price of the token, allowing for bloggers to get paid, whether people consumed their content or not and that we stand in contrast with a model where you are the product which has inherent value in today's age.
Besides, it takes a long time to see some measure of success with long form content blogging, so I have no hard time finding quality material among some more established content creators on PeakD. Also, I feel like some times things are too polished on a Tik Tok and it discourages me from making my own because it sets the bar too high. Hive is good for that, everything remains to be built.
