Some steps back. The question is what a community is on hive. There are probably more answers to this question but 2 come to my mind.
-
Is a community a place where people gather or share posts about topics which are related to the community. Building a great conversation and information trail.
-
Is a community a group of people who just want to earn more and more, builded around a so called community topic?
If the question is 1. There shouldn’t be a second layer behind it. If the answer is 2, such a token could help.
We have to be honest. If there suddenly was a community about carrots. And all those carrot related posts would be upvoted to heaven. Then hivers without any carrot passion would appear. Posting about the most beautiful carrot in the world hoping on the same payouts.
We did try many moons ago setting up a sportsbetting related community. We did create a poor upvote bot for it. And yes, while the payout wasn’t great we had so called sportsbetting related posts. A community can only survive if the fundaments are good and if it is driven by real genuine posts.
We all like to have the whales discover our posts. Regardless if it is community related or not. But that does only happen for the lucky few.
