Firstly, I'm very sad to see that this post has 0 comments, while it speaks about a crucial topic connected to the core of HIVE and our social media network...

Secondly, the post is great and I can agree with your point of view personally, I have been thinking of exactly these things lately... Not because I have too much spare time to think, but because I saw certain behaviors lately that encourage mediocracy over meritocracy... and in my opinion, which is very similar to yours, this isn't good for the longevity of the platform...

I think it is better in the long term for content creators to seek out content consumers who enjoy their content.

This is so simple to acknowledge and accept, but on HIVE, many people don't have that view at all... I see many people seeking more whale upvotes than seeking out content consumers, engagement, and mutual benefit that comes from that... That's why we have absurd things like posts with $100 payouts with 3 comments, and on the other side, $5 posts with hundreds of comments...

Thanks for talking about these things... It's important to discuss them... I hope someone will see the post from the @Ourpick collection and visit you...
