I guess Hive is a pretty good platform for collecting data on, but it does seem engagement can be lacking. I have just been going through my feed and I see a fair few posts with decent rewards, but no comments (apart from spam). I think we have an issue of too many creators and not enough consumers. The thing is that readers can earn too from curation and comments. I hope this can improve.

Its also difficult to know if people see your content outside of the hive community. I often read things but don't comment so that's hard to guage too. I would definately like to see more engagements on my posts.
I like to see signs that someone actually read my posts and comments suggest they do. The web stats suggest the dapps get hits from beyond the Hive community, but I don't know how many people will find posts via search engines. We need a wider audience.
We need the sort of content that people will discover and make them feel they should sign up to comment and potentially vote. It should be a compelling experience that is not just about making money.

This is what brought me to hive. I signed up because i wanted to interact and i found unique interesting stuff to engage with.
Starting to truly enter the chain and find legitimate creators and communities is something I'm pushing to do! Takes a while to get involved in Hive properly and too many think it's a grab and go sorta thing.
I believe people should be more educated on the economics and backbone behind Hive (which I'm still learning!) before they have that "oh, this isn't what I thought it was" or "oh, I can't get that" feeling because, in agreement, we truly do need more engagement within the smaller, growing parts of the community, to not just help with education, but also engage those whom otherwise would not!
The economics is an important aspect to make sure it stacks up for the long term. Why is a post worth anything? If i buy hive with fiat am i investing in a ponzi scheme?
The concerns people have and the reluctance to engage is often because their perception is that crypto is a scam. The advantage to hive is it costs nothing to join, its an easy on ramp for people to exploring what is possible with crypto and in built is the community where you can learn how it works. How to secure your private keys etc.
Bring people in with low expectations and deliver big. Back to your point, how can we cultivate legitimate creators and help them become embedded in communities?
You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)
This is sadly too accurate and I'm seeing so many examples of this myself trying to develop and make connections.
I wish there was a system where one could choose to remove downvoted comments on their own content but I sadly believe this never will happen with Hive...or am I mistaken in thinking this is actually a decent idea?
I just find it very disheartening sometimes because these consistent spammers often push other people away from commenting on content and providing feedback, ultimately affecting the creator and the way their posts are displayed.
The front ends could add options to filter what we see. You can mute accounts, but some may argue you should not be able to restrict what others see. I am actually surprised there is not more spam. It is fairly low cost for now, but I suspect the RC cost would go up if it was taking too much bandwidth.
