Doesn't seem to do much for having David Pakman, that Caitlin person, or Dan Dicks who is a real dickhead and never engages with anyone, period, if he's being sponsored by someone and isn't buying in, he's a huge waste of someone's delegation. He has absolutely no one buying into Hive. I think it's a bit naviette to think people will buy into, let alone sign up, on Hive when they can comment on utube for nothing, even if they did, once they find out it's an exclusive club of winners, they'll do as hundreds of others and just wither off somewhere. It's just an honest truth to the matter.

I think you missed the part where the creator would be paid based on performance from the dhf. And that the new audience would not be brought over as content producers but as content consumers. If the content creator did not engage and find ways for their audience to buy and power up hive, they don’t get paid.
This requires a complete mindset shift to what Steemit was originally created as: an alternative to Reddit where people were rewarded for their attention. It has been engrained in our head for so long that hive is a place to get paid to create content that we forgot that we have an incredibly unique system where people get paid when they vote (it’s a tiny amount but how much do people get paid to vote on YouTube or Reddit? 0)
We don’t need any more amateur content creators (and I count myself as one) we need content consumers.
I highly doubt that is going to happen, the odds are against it, good utubers do make great money, some make millions a year, why would they come over here if Hive can't match the anty. How much has Dan Dicks bought into Hive? He is a zero sum gain if he hasn't. You guys will never get back to the height of what Steemit was with the stuck up attitude that someday the shit they write is going to be the great internet encyclopedia someday. It's not. It's nothing new. There's no great discoveries going on here, Nothing whipping the winds of extraordinary exceptionalism. Well, except, perceptualflaws, he really is an exception, not the norm. Given there is a real lack of support to people who do spend time reading everything they upvote, and give the endeavor undertaken to earn in it their extraordinary efforts, earned so meagerly, taken away, no one is going to invest in that. I look back over it now, and I will say, I should have stayed just as engaged on steemit, just with their basic income vote, I'd be twice, maybe three times ahead of myself, probably more than that given the meager upvotes earned here with basic income. The difference was back then, was it was a whole community, it was fun, it was entertaining, it wasn't just a bunch of people who thought they were better than everybody else. I forget the guy who left a couple weeks ago, here's the irony of it now, you'll never know who the real amateurs are with AI, and he gave a great example. After he had AI correct his final message, he showed what it looked like before AI edited it for him. I could do that tomorrow, but you know, I just like being me. Hive does an excellent job of ignoring that, letting people just be people.
This has actually been very helpful. I need to reframe the presentation of this idea. We have tried the same exact things for so long that people just assume this idea is just a different version of the things that failed. I need to simplify this as just payment for a service. Thanks for the conversation. This is helping.
Please reread the post. I am not talking about YouTubers that are considered “great”. I am specifically talking about YouTubers or other content creators who have a following but it is too small to earn money on a big platform. I am talking about people who have a couple thousand fans not millions. And this has never been tried. Any example you share from the past will be about paying creators in rewards or getting YouTubers to advertise hive. This is not that. This is paying someone specifically for a service rendered. The service is bringing a certain number of people to hive and getting them to power up a certain amount of hive. If they don’t perform that service they don’t get paid from the dhf.
