I agree with your outlook. Hive isn't perfect but it's here to stay. I also agree that using just blogging to attract people won't be as effective. I just think that the amount of people who want to write long form posts isn't that high. Focusing on other apps like threads or games is a better way to target people's interests.
That's really true. I see a lot of people here on hive that prefer to do other things than creating content. The great thing is that it's totally possible. People would start playing games or making small messages on threads. Maybe later they could try to write some posts...
