but it certainly doesn't help retain new users sometimes.
I partially agree. The people who do the work anyway end up tending to be the ones who earn, those who complain about payouts don't continue. In some ways it is a filter for those who are willing to create and those who will always be consumers or, renters.
What is going to be interesting later is that there will be a consumer only class on Hive, who read from Hive, not caring where they read from, it is just another source.

That is a good point. I don't regret persevering here, but I do know there are times when I really was ready to give up. I have been in that space and I know how it feels. As much as we want to think we aren't here for the money on some level we are all kind of here for the money. It may become less of a factor as we spend more time on here, but at the end of the day we are earning so money matters.

Yeah, it sucks. The worst time for me was the bidbot years - over two years of watching 1% of the people milk the platform for millions, while those who chose not to earned pennies.
Yeah, I am with you. I think I might have used a bid bot once or twice before I realized what I was doing and how it was viewed. Then I stopped and never looked back despite the reduction in rewards. I never made that much anyway. Even with bid bots.
