That's too bad.

But it was always missing the most important element anyway. Built the stage, paid the acts, did nothing to sell tickets to the show. Yet here, the value of the ticket stays in the supporter's wallet (best deal in the history of entertainment).

That's just Hive in a nutshell for ten years though. Until money starts flowing in the door to cover the costs of content being produced here, content will remain an expense (Holding "earned" HP is still an expense). And people will always be looking for the easy money. Since growing organically as an artist of any kind (content creators were called artists and entertainers before social media), is damn near fucking impossible and you actually have to be good at what you do. A true paying customer does not purchase garbage. See any awesome material around here... ?

Anyway. I highly doubt anyone wants to hear my rants.

^{Ten years of this shit...}

^{Not surprised to see a group form around the potential earnings either, skimming profits. In life that's called a "record label" and it's no secret the actual artist get the shitty end of the stick, earning 5 to 10% of their true value on average, for decades. The more naive the artist is, the better.}
