That's not the real question. That's just short term thinking for a cash grab...
We need to change our thinking to building long term value and for Hive, this can easily be achieved via publishing evergreen content on our domains to encourage ongoing organic traffic from Google.
For example, take a look at the leofinance.io front-end. See how it runs ads?
Evergreen content that ranks on Google will bring in more eyeballs on those ads...
Which will lead to more LEO token burns...
Which will lead to a higher LEO price floor...
Which will eventuallyyyy lead to a higher HIVE price.
This strategy rewards stakeholders who think long term.
Of course by doing this, there is a trickle down effect for rewards.
But as Hive and all of our domains are so young, focusing on building a base of quality, long-form evergreen content is KEY to our success.

It is the real question.
If only what pays out is the none evergreen posts, then people will post whatever pays out.
For example, I just wrote this up. Using Drones to Extend Radio Range I didn't check on key words to make it more SEO focused, but it isn't a flash in the pan article. Inside it, I link to this article TIL: A little more about Software Defined Radio. Right now, the combined total of these two articles will be less than a $2 reward.
Will it trickle down for those who wrote the evergreen articles or for those who can easily stack up on all those tokens? Because for a lot of people here, there isn't the ability to make oneself and instant whale, they are hoping to earn enough to have enough to stake and hodl.
Again, very short term thinking.
Sure, you can milk the shit out of the rewards pool just posting garbage that nobody except bots upvote.
But pretty soon with no value being added, you're going to see the HIVE price go to zero and your rewards wont matter anyway.
If we want our shitty rewards to continue, then we're going to have to start adding value to the token.
The best way to add value to Hive and therefore make the HIVE price go up, is to produce content that will show up in organic searches and bring new eyeballs to Hive long term.
It's about the HIVE price itself, not your individual balance in tokens.
Post rewards don't matter when it comes to evergreen content because it is building value for the actual HIVE token through creating demand and hopefully eventually like LEO, through ad burns.
Changing this perception is the battle Hive faces.
