Cool man. You're entitled to your opinion. I just think that it's kind of short sighted as a strategy.
Curation programs like this set up little tiny pyramids, where my hope is to be noticed by the two people in charge of the curation, and then bestowed HIVE or upvotes if I am 'chosen'.
I'm sure it's going to be a successful show because people like to be 'chosen'.
It's my opinion that people who are posting on HIVE ought to be thinking about how they can build their own audiences.
The game you're advocating people play is about trying to get a lot of people on HIVE to be into their posts, particularly high value voters, so that they can accrue HIVE, and then presumably exit with that HIVE.
This is a standard game, and there's nothing wrong with it, a lot of people are going to interact with the ecosystem this way, because this is the most basic way that people can do that.
Furthermore, It's not what I think people aren't doing 'right' -- as though I have some solutions that they don't have.
But it is a critical stance, which challenges people to think outside of the "Find whales on HIVE and get Upvotes" paradigm, which I think is a loser game.

It's not just me that thinks it's a loser game as well -- the very existence of shows like this are trying to solve that problem -- 'get noticed by others on hive and get upvotes'.
This show is cool, because it shares information about other areas, and actually encourages people to share posts that are beyond the scope of HIVE -- because they acknowledge that wider ecosystemic awareness and participation is good for both HIVE and creative businesses.
However, the amount of time allotted toward each person, sharing, and the quality of the feedback are not that constructive toward actually empowering creators to monetize their work -- beyond the scope of HIVE.
I already clarified my position on this in the post above.
If there's a way that people can construct their projects so that HIVE posts are a derivative / development blog / project update blog, rather than and end point -- then they can monetize their work IN ADDITION TO HIVE.
That's what the project incubator that @hivehustlers is referring to, and in theory that's what shows like this are attempting to focus on -- I'm just taking time out of my day to offer criticism, because I care about this problem, and I think these people do as well.
What I think these people don't have is my perspective, which is why I shared it.

If you can actually earn several hundred dollars from creating a song, but instead you just post it on HIVE open mic and earn $5 in rewards, you are doing something 'wrong'.
Whether or not you want to take action on this, is up to you, and the specific solutions that you might find are up to you, and I don't have any solid claims for what may or may not work for people.
I have ideas, that I would be interested in seeing people explore, and so sometimes, when I have the energy to do so, I share them.
