Well, that's absolutely a great promotional video for the platform and I agree, many people concentrate too much on whether users, especially from developing nations, are joining only to make a quick buck. Point is, nobody can make a "quick buck" here, it takes courage, discipline and a fair understanding of how to blog and create content. If a member doesn't put in the effort, then they won't get upvoted and they'll leave, the very system is designed to get rid of unattractive content.

I've been saying for a while that we should focus a lot more on the social media and networking aspects of Hive, and less in how much money can be earned, or on the percentage of the population that join only for the monetary incentive. We should be welcoming more members, not scaring them out. This isn't a slot machine and it's virtually impossible for anyone to truly get anywhere in here with a "cash grab" mentality, so we can be a lot more open, and for that, developers and the heaviest voters have to reconsider their own mentality about what this platform is and how it can be used.

Thanks for this amazing post, man. You deserve every penny for the work you do!
