This earnings limit is a block to attracting the higher quality content creators and means Hive sits firmly as social media as opposed to a serious content platform
There's that aspect too where here we can't earn from endless advertisement and just relying on reward pool. If it's really just a place for social interaction, there shouldn't be a problem with short form content although data still says longer content gets most upvote despite being read or not😅
Okay so maybe the difference would be "youtube provides better chance for serious content creators than hive? as both shares the same ability, content sharing, and social media platfrom too.
Thanks for additional insight Nathen!
