RE: If we want Hive to grow? Then why is joining Hive so difficult?
Joining hive is not the problem its retaining users that is the problem thanks to the hive police for successfully driving every newbies making 0.1$ out of the platform with downvote

I think it is. Retaining users is another problem, but that is not what this blog is about.
About 95% of new users will end up plagiarizing, spamming, insulting someone, begging for votes, or using AI... Then they get hunted down and leave without bringing a single friend. People really underestimate word-of-mouth marketing. Back in the day, there were people who actually helped newcomers. Nowadays, someone sees a newbie plagiarizing and just downvotes all their posts, not only the wrong one. They’re so obsessed with protecting the reward pool that they’re okay with having zero user growth. Even I never upvote new users, because I know they’ll mess something up and lose all their rewards and I’ll lose my curation too.
If there's a trade off between protecting the reward pool for genuine users vs user growth where a lot of them abuse and scam, it's a no brainer which is more important.
If we stop telling people "come here, you'll make money" and instead say "come here, it's a better social media platform", think about how many users we can retain!
