The @tenkminnows account is mostly voting automatically using Hive Vote and so those votes are not based directly on quality. However, we will review accounts we support periodically. What we want to see is people actively trying to build engagement and a following, but some are not doing much of that. We can adjust the votes to give more support to those who try. If and when you do reach minnow status then you are likely to be taken off the voting roster. That will also lose you votes from people who just follow the trail and so you are likely to see a reduction in rewards.
It is a fact that a lot of people get automatic votes from various projects and individuals, but they could be withdrawn at any time. It can be better to get regular support from people who actually enjoy your content. So you do have to put the effort in. Quality can matter more than quantity. Just doing daily Actifit posts saying you went for a walk may not be considered valuable.
Apart from anything else it is more fun to get human responses to your posts that can lead to conversations and new friendships. Social media should be about finding those who share your interests. The money aspect of Hive can distort that.
As far as this project is concerned we want to see more people with a bigger stake, but Hive needs quality posts. We will be doing more reviews of those on our list. If you do not show signs of engagement or if you are not powering up your rewards then you may lose support.
Chart from @arcange
The number of minnows may have stopped dropping for now, but we have a big job to reach our original target. A couple of years ago there were well over 9000 and it looked like we were nearly there, but certain events split the community and not everyone stayed with Hive.
It is understandable that some people may want to cash out as HIVE goes up, but building your stake has benefits. They value of your vote goes up and so do the value of the curation rewards. Do you have confidence in Hive?
Hive five!
Hello!
Two years ago, the
tenkminnowsproject helped me get among the "minnows".I have been organizing the #aroundtheworld photo competition for more than a year. I would like to offer this competition to your attention as support for "red fish" :-)
Our resources are limited, but feel free to nominate a couple of people.
I'm not asking for your resources. It's just that you can recommend the competition to your people as a small income option :-)
I'll try to mention it some time, but maybe people will see it here anyway.
Thanks :-)
I'm so excited that I am now in that dolphin number, hooray! 😄
So you're counting all minnow accounts, and not just active ones? When we reach 10k total accounts if so, will the goal then switch to 10k active?
Congrats!
That is one possible next goal. I will just keep the project going as long as it seems to do good.
This is a great project. And whether it's quality posts or playing games, just being here on the blockchain helps HIVE grow. A win-win for us all. :)
Cheers. Thanks for Tweeting about it.
Welcome. And have a great day ahead! :)

I have every confidence in Hive, at the same time I want to grow my stake any way I can. If that means selling high and buying back in when Hive it's cheap I'll do it. This kind of opportunity only comes once in 4 years.
Not everyone is a blogger, but there are plenty of ways to earn from Hive.
earning from commenting is starting to be lucrative again and I think that is crucial for long term success
Votes are worth more now, so people can afford to be generous. We like to encourage commenting.
Totally legit, also is a good strategy as not everyone can make quality posts, I barely can do any other thing than shit comments.

I follow a downvote trail of someone I trust. I hope you take notice of the advice you have been given. Expecting to earn from Hive without giving anything back seems a long shot. Rewards need to be earned as does respect.
