I kind of feel that fundamentally the negative feedback loop might turn into a positive one. Price going down = people leave, less excitement, HBD conversion pressurre...
This to the point where very few people are left and some of the long-term people start accumulating and increasing their stake. As less people are here, the ones left get higher post payouts, this brings some excitement, price that slowly goes higher, potentially more new people coming in, metrics going up and price rises higher.
unfortunately Hive still has too many fundamental flaws that haven't been fixed so it feels a matter of time before it all starts coming down again at some point.
interesting take... ofc that would also mean that AI farming shouldn't replace those people (not sure if Hive has a problem in that regard).
What I noticed a lot is regular users running a post into an AI letting it make a reply I guess in an attempt to get an upvote there. It's actually really annoying.
This fakeness where it's all about trying to extract some value here on Hive remains a key issue that would be nice if there was some kind of countermeasure. It's actually funny, so many accounts now, who for years never posted a single movie review all of a sudden becoming full-time movie reviewers just because there are good upvotes attached to them from scrobble.life.
Anyway, let's hope the Hive run started. I started cost-averaging more once the price went below 0.04$ and I kind of hope for a small pull-back to continue it.
I guess Hiverwatchers are preventing bigger exploits, but I guess it's impossible to stop it.
