RE: Why is HIVE about speculation and not about community and content?

i actually have no idea how earning on WordPress works, especially with no ads as i never wrote blogs before Hive (forums yes, but not blogs). But i did make i would say over 300 videos, and to be honest, half of them are decent :D
only money i earned on youtube was 9$ before 2018 when they decided you need (what ever are requirements now for monetization). But they still run ads on my videos, they just don't share it with me.

One thing Hive has, and was kinda what i wanted on youtube, everyone can earn. And earning few $ for sharing something with the world is what probably most people are ok with. i know that was my idea. but then i got into staking and stuff and never cashed out, maybe this bullrun :D

And the truth is, on youtube, and probably other platforms, 95% of creators don't earn anything. And from those, i am sure half of them earn under 1k a year.

Grok says 97% of youtubers that earn something can't survive by youtube only (probably just counting ads earnings). It also says that X payed ~ 150.000 accounts. that is what? less than 1% of total users?

And that is just part of the Hive blockchain. There is a problem with "marketing" and at who to focus those efforts. I am sure that 70% of people on Hive don't know that Hive is used for decentralized podcasting distribution. and for decentralized live notification system. And that updating podcasting apps with podiping is 100x faster than Apple system (few seconds vs few hours) and much less power consuming, so it saves polar bears while Apple is actively trying to kill them by not using podping.

not sure where i was going with all of this :D
