RE: Ask a photographer #AAP

It's important to remember that a whale of 500k HP for example is the same as 1000 users with 5k HP each. I'm only making this point because my curation project for instance focuses on distributing hive inflation daily to deserving authors but we can't "force" them to hold onto some hive power for their own use. Many decide to sell everything (instead of say only the HBD) or just leave after a while instead of combining their efforts to get a post to some good rewards together instead of having to rely on "whales" who haven't sold their hive or bought more.

I agree with the rest of your comment, though, hive's a social media platform so it's not enough to just share your photos and expect rewards, you gotta go out there and build connections as well.

This is why we need more users and consumers/curators and preferably those who don't have to sell everything they earn. If we had 100x more users and naturally a bit higher price a lot of authors who only focus on creating could make better rewards in terms of $ value without having to rely on whales/curation projects.
