I believe HIVE is not for everyone. Or better said, HIVE is more for niche crowds than anything else. Most people in our world don't want to take quality time to create interesting content, read content created by others and get into the engagement mode more than push out posts. However, many may try HIVE when they see the $ values on posts. I suppose we'll see newbees come and go for a long time to come.
That said, I've seen so many good content creators come and go much faster than those that try to take the easy approach. The whole $ thing is something that is cool, however, it makes things very hard as well for HIVE to properly grow.
Those who are used to web2 platforms,are having a hard time to adapt and many will leave as they don't want to adapt. As I said before, you can't force anyone to adapt.
