Definitely agree about Hive’s niche community potential, but the model has to be an actual business model.
We in SkateHive have been building what’s essentially a shared magazine by skaters, for skaters, and I’m trying to convince them to start selling advertising. Of course the key we believe would be to have our own second layer token, which can keep the revenue shared within our own community. Skateboard ads won’t be enough to move the Hive price much, but it should be enough to keep a magazine running. So either everyone does that, and that slowly trickles back into Hive, or we create the model on Hive, and encourage communities to replicate it as well.

I'm glad to read this. I love the magazine idea; not so much the second-layer token one. I think you should explore the possibility of building your own DApp (with AI it's easy), that way you'll have more freedom to create features that attract your specific niche, and some of those features could even be premium with a subscription. When people are invited to a community that shares their exact interests, they are more open to it and stay longer. We discovered this with Hive Run.
