HIVE is ruled by a rigid time cycle while actual content creators tend to produce is fits and starts.

The HIVE ideal is to write one post a day at a given time each day. Seriously, the only thing that works on the schedule demanded by HIVE is a robot.

Since HIVE is optimized for robotic activity, bots are likely to do better on the platform than humans.

An actual content creator is likely to spend a month developing a project and produce posts in a flurry.

For example, traditional painting involves applying layer upon layer to an artwork. A potter might work on a batch of products for a single firing in the kiln. 

Any content creator using a batch process will go long periods with no HIVE income and will be denounced as a spammer when they present a batch of works.

I've seen HIVE drive several real artists away. 

BTW, this post is likely to be downvoted by @spaminator. @spaminator has never told me why they put the account on their attack list.
