Leo has probably more engagement that any other interface on Hive. Why is that? Perhaps it is the change in the reward curve, but that is a debatable point.
I think that the fact that the LEO community is focused on a type of common topic that is so popular and necessary in the lives of all of us, ends up making things easier. At Hive, everything is very plural and - unfortunately - often without much engagement.

The curve is not helping. Also, the 2-cent payout threshold makes it impossible for anyone with less than about 5000 HP to reward any comment or post alone.
I would say your assessment is correct. It is, at a minimum, a piece of the puzzle.
We need to get rid of the dusting. Micropayments are something that Hive can facilitate since there are no direct transaction costs. Why do you bar that feature from comments?
It makes no sense.

The 2-cent threshold is ridiculously high. Everything else is dust compared to the way the DAO has been abused by certain top witnesses, which is why people should look into voting for witnesses from outside the current top 20.

Absolutely.
Pertaining to 2-cent, that is vital to small accounts.
An account with 10 HIVE, each little reward helps to grow the account by a big portion. It is odd to think how important 1 HIVE is, but if your account, is 10, that is a 10% jump.
That can easily come from a number of upvotes on a few comments. But, alas, it is torched.
As for the Witness, many get the impression it is a closed club. It requires the upvotes from a couple whales in particular to get in there.
Hopefully the vote decay will yield different results. We shall see.

It was added to stop farming - it worked in this regard, but we lost commentary too, as people rotate around rewards.

That's exactly what my post was about two days ago. That kills rewarding comments and also not encouraging engagement at all. Not to mention rewarding posts after a certain time.

I've heard of it.

The targeted focus certainly helps. Hive does have the hindrance of being a feeder system for everything.
That said, what about the other communities/tribes. A lot of them are still operating like they did almost 2 years ago.
To me, that is the crux of the problem. There is little to no development which is giving the users little to be excited about. This, in turn, creates the same experience on a daily basis, never changing over time.
In this era, new features need to be added or else people get bored.
