Marketing yes, but unprofessional (in most cases) and not targeted.
Simple: What is Hive? Even Hive users don't know. How should others know?
A professionally managed marketing Team could do all the PR work. Spread the news and build connections.
Also, developers/Entrepreneurs need first to know about hive before they build here.
Blogging and rewards should be all second layer IMO.
BTW. Sharing a blog post is not marketing for Hive in the first case, is more second. And because Hive generates no value out of readers, it's IMO a bit pointless in terms of marketing and value.
So social aspect should IMO more Human to Human / like Instagram / storytelling. That's what people like. Would be the same tech but a different community and would match perfect second layer tokens. Writing 10 K-word articles is not what people want to read or to write. So I agree it is a thing of the past ( in some cases for mass adoption).
