Glad you migrated fully to Hive and dumped your SP. Also, that's a great question! Since we are primarily concerned and focused on the Photographic content of your posts... it is more important to have quality images compared to a fancy body of text. The text rule is more of an issue for those that only post one image.
So, the more quality images a user shares... the less the text matters. Artists, and Photography is an art, don't always want to add more content as art can oftentimes speak for itself. However, to balance that out.... guiding your readers into what the art or photography is expressing, or at least sharing some settings/specs or part of the process is always good.
Thank you for such a detailed and clear answer:)
