RE: The Failings of Hive
I can find plenty I like on Hive, but I am picky about who I follow to keep my feed interesting. We have some top quality creators, but we have to face the fact that we are tiny. I expect that 99.9% of Youtube is crap, but they have millions posting videos. I think a lot of Hive issues are down to scale, but I don't know how to fix it.

These are both good points - and you're right about the scale. YouTube probably has 1% amazing content, 99% total bollox, however that 1% is probably like 100x the size of people on Hive.
But then to turn that on its head -- how do we attract the people. My thoughts are the tools in which they can use.
Why do people use WordPress? Just to make a journal?
Why do people blog on Medium with no intention of earning?
It's all about ease of use I think.
You need to find an audience for whatever you do and other platforms provide a potentially bigger one. Hive has the rewards, but also freedom. I think our best chance is to grow in niche areas to start with and build from there. I hang around the musicians, runners and general geeks.
