I agree that the real value of Hive has not been discovered. if you could develop a way for people to use it in a different way, go for it.

See this presentation:
Just that simple visual change.
Providing people adhere to it as a standard, would do wonders to make this place next level.
Content such as that is meeting the bar of what makes platforms like tiktok king of social. It represent the portal to the world (content) a person seeks to consume. (Not that content specifically, but it's inviting presentation, and the fact it represents abundance).
I'm not saying ditch blogging.
But don't expect anyone other than a committed blogger to come here and brag to their network about it.
That did happen on steemit when price was riding the high wave. Shoot nearly every youtuber was jumping on.
Then the fact the system is so clucky made them all go back to yt.
It's just crazy that the basic beta style steemit was, is what this place still is. Yeah many stability/backend upgrades, but a regular person cares not for such things. Just that it keeps inviting them back.
Quality of Content also needs to be higher.
I see this as an internal thing for myself.
When I do projects, I can compare the quality of this project, to the quality of the last project. I can test to see what i like better, and what has better results.

The point of the post above is more about transitioning from the current text and picture blog format, toward something more like what you share here.
Honestly, Video / Podcasts / Slideshows / Educational Courses / GIFs / Streaming / Broadcasts -- Ebooks / PDFs / Graphic Novels / Visual Novels -- Games -- Small Group Organization -- etc.
All of these are different and viable in their own way, to their own people.
The difference I'm proposing is that people think less of their posts as posts, and more of their posts as a window into a part of a larger project that they are working on.
And consequentially -- monetizing and marketing elsewhere beyond HIVE.
.:.
The super high level of attainment, I would guess -- would be finding some way to exclusively add value to your audience via HIVE, in a way that no other platform you are involved in can offer.
In doing so, you have a unique value proposition, and then provide people with an incentive stronger than rewards.
People join HIVE because they are invested in YOUR project, -- and look, there are other cool things happening here too, and they can blog, etc.
you're hired.
Yea, got to do it for my own work first, obviously.
lol true!
Because blogging text with a few images inserted ISN'T what masses seek.
VIDEO IS KING.
CONSTANT STREAM,
THE ATTENTION RETAINER.
It can't get much simpler.
Nothing will change here,
Unless coders make that platform.
REWARDS are not the big draw.
I disagree with the comment about the coders - though I agree with the other things you say.
Coders have a heavy responsibility, for sure, but the type of responsibility I'm talking about is how the bloggers are using the platform.
It's a change in the way that content creators, and content curators are leveraging HIVE to provide a unique project to serve an audience that is bigger than HIVE.
Many people are just blogging to get some rewards, or have some community.
They need to realize that their project is not over when they hit PUBLISH on HIVE.
That's just a hive update.
The real project and the real audience are larger.
That posture / attitude / perspective shift, is about how people are using the platform that already exists here, not just what the devs ought to do to make things better.
Yeah your points are solid and all that does matter when a platform really represents people and their ideas/projects.
The code though is the base. It's fundamental for growth.
If the platform is so basic that there's no way for those things to be implemented by user then it will always be wishful thinking and as you point out. One needs too exist outside of here to then make it all worth it.
The reason I target coders also is that they ARE boasting, claiming
"This is Web 3.0" when no.. it isn't. It might feel like it because they work with future/new code but the product is basic and not inviting.
That's why it needs major improvements.
blocktrades seems to see that at least.
I'm curious what he will bring with his second layer systems.
That there might really make this place superior (as a blockchain at least).
Because what I believe is missing is what you outline.
ACTUAL REWARD for all those who you engage with and engage back.
Even a person that just views should have an incremental reward attached.
Without having to play the "im on your curator trial" game.
Even after the rewards window your content is still valuable yet the system says "no sorry you only get to eat for a few days"
It should also be a system you don't even need to actively be a worker bee for.
That's the part I really can't see as a positive.
I despise the MLM system. You should too.
I think it will be up to each person to develop their own mature way of using the platform. -- and it will be self-selected.
Many will just want to keep doing what they are doing as quality bloggers.
And many more will just try to do low effort posts to try and game the system.
