Sorry I just assumed you were new to the scene with those low payouts.
Even with noise.cash i would still get 10-30c per post as well as $1 a day to give out in tips. Even though the numbers have gone way down. Even with hive you can usually hit a good trail every so often.
I do miss the fiction side of things as that is why i joined steem in the first place. A way to monetize my writing. Now it is all about tech and crypto with little space for freewriting and stories.
I have always envisioned building a wattpad clone onto hive with a different voting system. One that takes stake out of it and distributes rewards based on views or single upvotes instead of having whale accounts.
Everybody would be worth the same weight of votes and cut out the bots altogether. Encourage comments and engagement for all types of writers. Take the crypto side out of it altogether and make it more fun. That's where i would take all of this if i could build up enough funds to bring in the devs.
There is a lot of self promotion here too but that is all part of the wider game. If you want to win you need to get to the top.
I like your idea with the Wattpad clone, I have an account there and I was active around 2014. I unpublished my fiction and downloaded it for further edits recently.
I think that Wattpad format would be interesting to many, not only writers.
My concern about blockchain blogging is that there is a big dissonance between content creation and feedback it receives. There were some commenting/activity incentives around, I think Ecency also has some going, but with the time people who try to be pro-active get tired.
In past I used help of a content curation tool, I am not sure who made it, but it was so much easier to search and find interesting content by certain qualities, not just category/tag.
That's where i started writing fiction and stories myself back in the day. Then when i had built up a following i went in search of a way to do the same thing for money and found steem.
After that i went right to the bottom of the crypto rabbit hole and haven't stopped since. I have lost my way with the fun writing though which is a shame. That was the best part of the whole thing. Doing what you love but i will get back to writing stories again some day.
