Hi, I am speaking from my experience as a relative newcomer to Hive, because I opened my profile here just two months ago.
The only use I find for reblogging (in my case, I don't have much of an audience either, so that's the least important thing). Is that if you see a post about something that interests you, for example: the anecdote of someone who traveled to a country that you are also going to visit soon, or maybe a food recipe that you want to save to make and try yourself, maybe a tutorial about something you need to do.... All of that is useful to reblog so you can later refer back to that post in your feed/blog.
I haven't used it much either, to be honest, but on those occasions I have. I also shared the "introduce myself" of a friend who was starting out, to give him my support.
Regarding what you say about web 2.0, I would like to have some option to interact with those who are not Hive users, but who consume the content.
For example: To watch a Youtube video, you don't need to be a content creator, but you can log in and be a viewer, and you can also leave your comment.
If Hive could replicate this way of interacting that some web 2.0 social networks have, for example, a "guest" registration could be created for those who do not want to upload content, but consume it, I think this Blockchain would be much better known and many users who are in traditional networks could start to be interested in the wonderful content that is here. This is my humble opinion.
That is a good point. I can understand what you are saying. So you want some kind of paywall or tiered system so that you don't necessarily have to have a Hive account. What happens when someone upvotes your comment and you just have guest account? Does it get burned? The flip side of that is we sign up for so many things these days is it really that hard to just sign up for a Hive account? I know some of the news sites you can't comment unless you login. The idea of a guest account or being able to comment without being logged in seems to be more the exception than the norm these days. I do think it would be cool to have some kind of integration with Pintrest or a Hivetrest type site that allows you to collect and pin your favorite posts.

In the case of the guest account, I would not put the option to be able to vote haha. But I do know people who are very lazy to register because there are many keys, the keychain etc... And they find it more complicated than registering in other networks. So it would be a profile focused on people who are not going to create content. But also linking Pinterest and other networks just as Twitter was linked could be another step to take.
Thanks for your opinion!
I think there could be some room for something like that. It would just take the right person to develop it. I think it wouldn't be long before people decided they wanted an account though when they start seeing other people earning.

There's the bookmark function in peakd for that so you can refer back to the post in future
