Remember when you heard about Hive and you saw the very same people on trending and thought the game was rigged and nobody could reach those levels? And how your 15 cents were nothing compared to the hundreds of dollars other people's posts made, and how they were always the same people?

Ah yes I remember this very well.

Back when I thought I'd never even make it to dolphin. Yeah, those were wild times, but opening the gates for new users isn't something that can just happen so easily. The vast majority of the time there's tons of new content that would get upvoted if the bigger accounts actually saw them in the first place. Curation around here still is in the infant stages. Not only is it hard for new users to get noticed, it's hard for old users to actually do the noticing.

Certainly there are things we could be doing that we haven't done yet. There are so many filters and ways of sharing rewards that haven't even been contemplated yet. A big one is reblogging; there's no financial incentive to do it (yet) even though this is the literal definition of curation.

There's also no way to find users out there who are willing to research the things Hive whales want to know about. I remember when I first got here I was thirsty and researching dozens of coins, now I'd much prefer paying someone else to do that work for me, but there is no marketplace to find such people.

At the end of the day Hive is still an infant chain still looking for its niche. We'll get there eventually.
