Ok so I disagree, consumers follow good content and good experiences, that's as easy as that. Which means hive doesn't have good content and it's a bad experience overall.

Earning free money just to upvote can't work, unless you power up a good amount of money.

So we need to re-think all this. We need "people" to incentivize it's followers, if you want consumers to earn to consume, which brings us to the start---> good "people" that knows how to engage.

You seem to get what means to engage, since you already have 300 comments 😉 on just this post. See it's not about the consumers, the "people" that makes posts is about, on hive they are greedy mostly, looking to make a few bucks fast and free, without engaging.

If you want more consumers, first you have to reshape the other part of the social😉.
