Interesting, talented people leave because it's depressing to work for no audience.

this. I dont think its the only or biggest reason, but a very sufficient, for sure.

I've been pointing out the severe lack of consumers on this platform,

this! I also tired of repeating that Hive needs readers, not authors. totally 146% agree with you.

I remember an attempt (within OCD curating activity) to reward great comments with nice upvotes. but, hmm, the results were not impressive, and I don’t know if this had any continuation other than “fading out.”

absolutely no future here for anyone who takes their work seriously.

I've offered potential solutions and strategies over the years.

More and more people are supporting content creators with their own money. You'd have to be chained to a rock to be able to miss that boat. Yet here we are offering consumers the ability to stake tokens and support content they enjoy, as their money grows instead of throwing it away. That's one way consumers can be rewarded here. What do we do with it? Encourage people to automate everything and get paid to be absent. They want free accounts building stake stemming from a melting glacier of inflation in order to "pay" for this content, rather than encouraging millions of people to sign on and support the things they enjoy, as they do, with their billions of dollars that exist on the outside.

Missing the mark by a mile. They think people want to be "curators" and "investors" while the rest of the internet knows they want to be "consumers."

Calling it "web3" like it's supposed to be the future, as common practices stemming from minds eight years ago contribute to the platform becoming more and more behind the times as the days and weeks go by.

People are free to ignore this way of life here. They're free to look outside and call their people in. If they have that ability, there's a great opportunity here waiting for them and a good deal sitting on the table. Attract real paying consumers to your work. Anyone attempting to control your destiny on this platform, willing to turn their back on you the instant you spend some of the money they gave you, is not a fan of your work. That real market or following is set in stone, decentralized, and cannot be taken away from you.

The rest can sit here acting like the Rapa Nui all they want. Trapped on an island, extracting scarce resources nonstop in order to follow the tradition of carving massive stone heads destined to be propped up nice and tall so they can glare at any newcomers washing up on shore before they get eaten or indoctrinated.

Okay. Maybe I'm pushing it!

First paragraph is true. The second is a lesson from history everyone should pay attention to in order to avoid the same fate.

At this point, I'm just here to watch the show, because I'd like to see all these people succeed and create more opportunities in the process.
