RE: Why quality content is not always rewarded on Hive?

Finally, organic engagement is the best way to really grow

I totally agree with that and it has a great side effect. When we try to interact with others we actually give them what they are looking for: attention for their content. By doing what we hope others would do for us, we create a culture where we are there for each other, where we help each other to grow and evolve. This can be magical :-)
