RE: There is no Attention Economy on Hive

I share your frustrations with this.

But what we do not do on hive is write to be read (or create art in any form to be seen) but to earn.

We post, we get paid. Nice. Repeat tomorrow.

This isn't the way it should be -- art should be felt, it should be burned from the soul in a way that you want others to see it.

You care not for the money, only to be seen.

The money will come naturally as a biproduct then.

All of us here at hive care not for the art, but for the rewards (me included)

We could be great -- but we need a spark, a seed planted in the wild, something to take root.

What I'm doing is reversing the roles. I'm elevating our artists -- I'm selecting the best, and I'm letting hive curate us.

Instead of elevating curators and letting artists fend for themselves.
