This I can agree with. Rewards should be higher for those putting in work and effort. While passive income still can be a thing it shouldn't be paying out double what actively working on the platform is currently giving.

Content creators honestly are not that big of hive and will shift away from that more and more in the years to come. Mainly because content creators will most likely earn a new UIs layer 2 token (while yes still earning some hive as it should be so they can still interact with the chain for resources)

But that's going to keep shifting towards application growth and building. It's one area however that's drastically lacking. Id also honestly love it that layer 2 applications start to generate revenue themselves. There is no reason an application built on top of hive should not be generating revenue for their own profits, developers and if they have a layer 2 token then value of their own token. It's an area that needs work as well. An app running on top of a blockchain is a business and thus should be treated as one. Its up to that application then how they want to use those profits. Buy more hive, reward their users, improve token value through buy backs etc.
