I don’t personlly think they want hive to do well I think it’s a controlled experiment or they want it to be small enough to have total control. Loads of instagram ppl joined once and they just insulted them and drove them off the platform. They drive off most talented people, or people when they start earning rly good money. The only ppl rly allowed to earn money there are ppl who couldn’t actually make money from what their posting in the real world if you notice. These ppl are more reliant on them and easier to control. For example is a guy who earns rly well who just posts mobile photo shots of abandoned houses. The posts are fairly interesting but have 0 commercial value so they know he needs their platform and to follow the rules to make money. The pro nft artists / artists / working photographers / models blah blah won’t be bullied like that or support seeing others get bullied. They are also More of a threat to one day taking control of the platform so they aren’t the centRe of it anymore. It’s v specific who is allowed upvotes if you look and the kind of ppl... generally ppl that show very subservaiant temperaments. Meester boom is another he writes absolute waffle imo I rly have no idea what it’s about I tried to read a couple of things and it just makes no sense at all. Outside of of hive it has 0 commercial value. I’m not even being mean here just completely observational. If you could find one place meester boom could earn £1 for what he posts outside of hive and steemit I would love to be shown I am wrong. Same with abandoned house guy. There are blogs and forums that share those images but not for money really. They get a very inflated ego I find for people that have no real world value at all with what they are posting.
