yo, Lets make Hive fun. Let ppl write about what they want. Rewards are ok, but IMO real users dont care.
Most Hive authors are net seller. PPl that have fun here ( are less likely sellers).
Get ppl post like reddit, question and answers, shittalk, 4chan shit, forum style talk and so on.
Let people steal memes ( OH NO WHAT ABOUT THE VALUE OF THE POST???), yeah thats how memes work.
The quality content idea is retarded.
Front ends need to make revenue or need to die. Eyeballs = value, not DAO funding.
The frontends are now years old and not a single of them makes any revenue, thats super retarded. Imagine Advertisers pay front ends with Hive or HBD and they pay users a share of it.
Imagine front ends sell RC, so the user doesnt need Hive power at all. No politics, just fun.
The people that have a lot of power in the curration doesnt want to lose the power they have. But they would earn so much more this way.
Reduce Hive power to the most simple things and make it as neutral as possible. Front ends can add curation bullshit tokens if they want. But thats the way to go to scale Hive 1000x or more.

I am not sure I agree with defunding the front ends. Like it is really not an absurd about of money they ask for and that is how most people use the platform is with those front ends. I have seen some people recommend the front ends advertise they are a platform build on HIVE which makes sense to me. That being said, unless we have better options I think pulling the plug on some of the DHF is a bad idea without some long-term plan for what HIVE will do.
Each proposal is different and I try to look at each proposal differently.
I also think HIVE paying maintenance for the simple things people use makes sense. Should we pay maintenance? Idk, but the idea of paying maintenance does make sense to me.
At the same time I do not think things here will ever be perfect. Like there are always going to be things that can be adjusted to improve the ecosystem.
100% important is to talk about.
Without we openly pointing out things, onchain and point to the witneeses and holders, nothing will change.
And changes need to happen. I rather have hive at 2$ and a smaler stake as hive at 0.01$ and a whale size one. For this we need to bring a user maxing mentallity. Defund everything that hurts user growth, rethink rewarding ( to a revenue model) not replace it. But math is the same if we reduce from 14% inflation to lets say 4%.
This way we can start ignore Downvoting by "abuse" since the impact is around 70% by default reduced.
From here Front ends needs to think about revenue models, and you know what? Selling RC subscriptions ( cheap as long we have a lot unused). like Peak D premium membership with some RC so you can ship post with your friends and never care about rewards, politics, the token itself or whatever. Just having fun.
Rewards make IMO everything gay and limit rewards for users ( since devs think rewarding on hive is solved). Rewards should be more a donation ( i would name it that), add a additional like button ( that can have a token from frontends, but can also do nothing). So users can like each other.
Most things are so easy to implement, but devs thinks they make no difference (because they are devs not marketers).
Chain level linkes would be also ok, a button that does nothing but shares to all front ends.
