1. They come for the money
2. Have little or no interest in blogging--they just want the money.
3. Engagement isn't so great. Asides the few comments they get when they join, not much engagement.
4. There is so much to learn. From curating to managing a wallet. Most times most people don't know what they are signing up for.
5. Hive isn't fun (yet).

Suggestion:

1. Keep old content creators motivated. If they create high-quality content that can at least drive traffic (which seems not to matter that much)
2. Major stakeholders should work with communities to build stronger networks and orientation champagne for newbies
3. More fun dapps--not everyone is interested in blogging.
4. Keep trying new things. No one actually knows all the answers. Maybe we may not like to admit but this is still an experimental project.
