This is something I've had in mind for a while, and that is that if you go through Reddit beyond the huge amount of users, you will notice that people have the opportunity to create communities, content and comments on anything all the time, Tomatoes? you have a community to talk about it, and it is easy that in that community you find people interested in that debate....
Why is Hive different? The answer is the Reward, I feel that users are afraid to interact and lose resources, that they are afraid to create a post and receive a sanction from HiveWatchers or Spaminator.
My solution? Reddit Karma system.... Something that does NOT have a monetary value, that does not consume a large amount of resources and that could affect the user's reputation, more votes more reputation, less votes, less reputation, and that by not having a monetary value the value is the same as Kanye West on Twitter or Charlie d Amelio on Tiktok, people like what you share and follow you for it not just for the curation reward.
In the future I think we're going to see communities that in a way ignore hive rewards completely and instead have all posts send rewards to a specific account, then based on the tribe/token curation of their own token they distribute the hive rewards collected that day/week to users.
I know that commercially it doesn't seem like a good way to promote Hive, but I really believe that the day the rewards factor stops being the main thing, more people will want to be part of more projects, leading in return to better rewards.
