Personally, I'd like to see the art communities on HIVE turn into project incubators, and skill development groups.

So that the majority of the artist culture here is creating projects, which are leveraged on HIVE / FIAT, and ETH, and adapt with Monthly or Quarterly Project Cycles.

That way people would have collections, with compelling projects, that generate their own audiences, with multiple revenue streams, and use HIVE as a central hub for their blogging efforts.

If people can use @NFTShowroom to uniquely gamify engagement on these blogs, or feel a desire to post their collections there -- more power to them.

I've noticed that most of the income for the successful artists on HIVE comes from ETH.

Otherwise, I think it would be cool to have communities function as study groups, for people who don't yet have the skills to be able to monetize their studies through small scale project development.

IMO, just making stuff to make it, is going to be a privilege only accessible to a few established artists, or in the context of sideshow mechanics -- [like a sketchbook NFT Collection].

Making stuff and posting on HIVE just for the Reward Pool, is a weak practice, which only contributes toward economic decline, and if we onboard this next wave of hungry artists from DeviantArt, Etc, with the claim of "Come, we haz reward pool", It's not going to be good for them, or the price of HIVE.

However, if HIVE is a place of Industry / Project Incubation, and HIVE artists are doing cool shit, and maintaining innovative engagement in a changing environment of cryptoart -- then, I see those artists doing just fine, and also, I see new artists coming along, and seeing 'oh, this is how you do it."

That is a scenario where I see the price of HIVE going up, and the art communities here thriving.

Some people are already doing this to various extents -- but as far as I'm aware, it's not the norm.
