While it's admirable that you're spending all of adrevenue on burning Hive I don't think that's something that's going to encourage people to attempt to bring in traffic to their posts from within or outside of the ecosystem (i.e. posh). Most aren't going to care that a certain amount of Hive gets burned because most authors don't have significant stake.

I think partially rewarding those who attain traffic with adrevenue, much like any other platform does, would improve things like author engagement in their posts and outside of them to attempt to have others check out their posts. More snap social activity and another layer that not many think of: promotion of posts by burning hive themselves. Other things it could improve and give more value to could also be good reblogs from other users.

I think you should reconsider on rewarding your users with adrevenue, even if it's just cents it's going to be better IMO. Not to mention the effects this may have on making users choose peakd over other front-ends even though that's not as important.
