IMO SMTs and niches fix it too. If a solid RC marketplace behind the dapps, user dont need in the first line hive rewards.
And we should make a difference between content creator and users. On youtube are more user than content creators.
So i think we should make the comment game more attractive for the users.
We will always loss content creators, like any other platform. Some come, some go. The users, reader and people that interact with post are the people that store the value IMO.
With Smts, the frustration level should hit a all time low IMO :) Less Flagwars and bullying
The content creators are at least equally important as the viewers. Good content drives traffic. Without good content the platform will bleed out like Steemit.
SMTs? They are promised since 4 years. Or do you consider HE-tokens as SMTs?
I refer to some rewarding option besides hive that's accessible to everyone for are affordable price.
I agree that content creators are important, but we can't fix hate with hive. People will always be downvoted and insulted for some content. Special for content people don't value or different opinion content.
If I look to the RT ( the Russia today news that's on hive), it becomes non-stop downvotes. The same will happen always to any kind of content some don't like.
IMO only some bubbles can fix that problem.
For example alternative medicine to regular medicine. These people hate each other. I think we can see the same trend of covid content.
There is IMO no solution besides SMTs to that. The good thing is, even centralized platforms cant fix it, so if we can fix it we generate real value :)
