RE: $200 Monthly Investing Plan Brought to You by Hive Blockchain
What happened to those three authors? They have all been gone for over 6 years, did they stay on steam or just quit posting on blockchain?
Some whales are still encouraging new users with upvotes, I have seen it with others and have experienced myself. But some of our biggest whales seem to be more concerned with keeping HBD stable instead of encouraging top writers or new talent.
I am sure upvoting HBD stabilizer is very important, but perhaps some of that voting power could be used to really encourage the best talent on Hive with the hope of growing Hive user base.

There were many more like these three and they all left because of dwindling rewards/engagement. Some of these were real ambassadors of the platform too. There were a lot of philosophical skirmishes back then, people who had different visions of which directions the platform should grow. Can you imagine the traffic a person like Neil Strauss would bring here today?
That's good to hear some whales are encouraging new users! It sounds like there just needs to be more of a balance between concern over HBD stability and rewarding talent appropriately. In the beginning the model was more of a meritocracy where everyone with skill and imagination would aspire to reach the highest levels of engagement/rewards. This had an effect on everyone to become better as well.
