Influencers/people who want to build your own communities: a safe point against censorship and here there is no algorithm that reduces the reach.
Copyright and patent guarantee: Hive can act as a record for future proof of copyright because what is posted is forever, unlike a normal blog or a social network that can delete your data.

Technically all of my spelling mistakes and commas splices are on the blockchain even after I edit them out. Anyone with the technical know how can still go back and laugh at mine.

This actually highlights one of the biggest 'development needs' the Hive ecosystem has, imho. That is, the ability to control access to your own posts and your own data.
Someone needs to develop a solution (probably Layer 2) wherein my data and posts are encrypted and I can set the criteria regarding who can view each specific piece of info that I 'publish' onto the blockchain.
This would pave the way for circles of communities, similar to what Google tried to create with Google+ and would enable competitors to Facebook to spring up.
Yes. I totally agree. Now, how do we store all of this data outside of the blockchain without turning the users themselves into "the product?" Either there will be no funding for the storage of the encrypted data or there will not be encrypted data.
The issues are not so much as technical but economical. I might do this on something that costs me say $8 a month out of my own pocket but what if that number has to scale to $400 / month?
Maybe I could add this to Steemfiles.com. Check it out. The voting with the keychain is not yet implemented. You need to login with your posting key to vote: https://www.steemfiles.com. Tell me what it needs the most in your opinion. I actually use it sometimes for browsing and voting.
If Dropbox can provide 2TB of storage for less than $10 per month, I am sure the cost for such a service would not be exorbitant.
However, you bring up the excellent point that, if users want to stop being the product then they need to start paying for the value received (and why wouldn't they?).
All excellent points. Thanks!
