We can have shortform content too, if someone big were to join and enough curators are checking out snaps I don't think people would care if a comment is earning $50 even at these prices if it's vitalik posting for instance.
We have a lot to offer them but we've fallen behind the limelight so much that very few influential people are going to bother to learn more about hive at this stage. It'd be hard to even pay influential people to truly learn hive and wanna work for it at this point.
But it's never too late for hive, we just gotta start doing things that will eventually get us somewhere. Most of the current spending i don't believe has been that.
