I'm not even sure I'm qualified to answer this, especially if we look at my wallet, where things have been hovering around 150–200$ for the past two years, despite the fact that my activity has increased a lot over the last six months. The more active I am, the worse the HIVE price seems to get. 😄
But I'm still here, I'm having fun, I don't use any other social networks and hive is like a kind of virtual diary for me. Plus, I get to read interesting things and meet great people. That's more than enough reason for me to stay active.
As for users who used to be active but don't post anymore, I know about one woman who had a great blog and received strong upvotes, but I think she stopped writing because of issues with her keys (basically, someone else has access to them, she doesn't). That really sucks and I assume it's a problem that's hard to solve. :/
