Thanks a lot @geyzee - unfortunately this was after the deadline - we had only three valid submissions for SunTHursday - so we will see whether it makes sense to continue or not. Maybe other platforms are more prepared for photo contests and such. I appreciate all the great submissions though but might simply get back focusing on my music community which also is a bit spread these days due to lack of engagement.
While I prefer blockchain over all other set-ups, I might have to work on some approaches how we get this community thing (including communites from Europe and Asia) a bit more on to the masses and in front of business investors instead of posting my shit content lol.
The big question is (saying this since two years) do we really need a social content platform that rewards people for content or shall we get rid of that by a system where people pay to post?
The blockchain prize / crypto prize probably never will increase as long as all think it is a facebook on a blockchain where they can spam and get some cents and in general the reward spreading never will be fair (you know what i mean).
So what about using the strength of the blockchain - providing a fast and secure space for DApps only, for great developers - games, business, ecommerce - pretty sure if worked out well the prize of Hive should never go below 2-3$ (no financial advise).
As long as it is seen as a content reward platform I d NOT see any potential the Hive prize will go up - look at EOS Voice and any other communities, non of them was successful as their marketing was driven to attract folks to post for pay.
Marketing is the other main issue here - but that is a different topic!
