Demon parasites have a reputation. Things that turn people purple and give them horns tend to acquire them. Most hives have a tendency to run out of willing volunteers pretty quickly, which leads to the questionable practices of either tricking people into accepting a parasite, sneaking succubats into places where they can catch victims unaware, or simply grabbing people off the street and converting them by force. The longer a hive persists, the more desperate its queen is likely to get in acquiring new means of keeping herself fed, and the more likely it is to start drifting towards the later means rather than the former.
Being a Galactic Maid means that all of those methods are off of the table for Ms Rodovoy. With very few exceptions, working for the cause of justice prevents you from press-ganging innocent civilians, and means she needs to endlessly expand the reach of her hive using more legitimate methods. She tries her best, but "this demon queen wants you to understand that attaching a parasitic organism to your lower back is the best thing that will ever happen to you" has, thus far, proven to be a remarkably hard sell.
Well, it's no less trustworthy than most start-ups, at least.

Malificus
An advice from a semi-fellow demon-goddess who has been in the business for eons:
Show some of your converted ones and make them show how happy they are and how it improved their life, power, sex-life, etc and give a honest Q&A. ;)
Also, try having some heroes sponsor you and make squeaky plushies of you. It's not very well-known but people love squeaky demon plushies!

Not sure that'd work either. I dont exactly have a spinal cord.....or much nerve tissue.....though I would like to visit the hive to study the physical and physiological changes that succubats incur! *note: Not a fan of crowncrabs....may have a hard time suppressing my combat protocols around them.
It *cut down* on the need, but didn't eliminate it entirely. She's still stuck with a body that keeps making eggs and is still, gradually, trying to expand.
The fact that it cut down on her input and output had other side-effects she may not have quite expected, as well, but those are stories for other pictures.

From your description, it sounds like becoming a hive queen is an ultimately tragic fate. If a host either feeds and grows or starves and dies, the best they can do is prolong their own suffering at the expense of others?
I mean, the hive might simply be exterminated as an act of self defense first, but that's hardly seems much like a preferred option?

It wasn't my intent to be reductionist, and if I have given offense, I apologize. That was not my intent. I was quite honestly curious as to what kind of story you were telling.
The previous pictures had seemed rather light-hearted ( especially the one introducing the Gemini Maid form as it both introduced the runaway hunger cycle and a solution for it), the demonic nature of the change notwithstanding. The flavor text of this one adds a fairly dark twist, in that it implies a hive to essentially have a virus like growth curve. If there is no state at which the growth levels off, one of two things will happen: the hive queen will be unable to sustain herself (either because she can not grow a hive large enough to the purpose or because all available resources have been consumed), or she will be eliminated by others competing for resources (non hive members, or a competing hive, perhaps). Other outcomes are presumably possible since it's a fictional story, but those are the two which are seemingly implied by the text thus far.
That's why I don't believe your question is really an apt comparison. You asked "Why bother eating breakfast if you're just going to die?", but my consumption of resources is sustainable given the environment I'm in and largely static. While I might eventually be slain in a competition for resources, it is unlikely to be because my ever increasing consumption threatens those around me.
Again, my apologies.

"the hive queen will be unable to sustain herself (either because she can not grow a hive large enough to the purpose or because all available resources have been consumed)" is a very long term theoretical. Humanity well outpaces any hive on that front tbh.
A queen's hunger and growth is linear, a smart hive's growth and influence is usually not. It's just a matter of getting the hive ahead of the hunger.

I believe I understand what you're going for. Just out of curiosity, which is linear: the growth or the increase in hunger?
I ask because one implies an asymptotic limit, and the other doesn't.
If growth is linear and hunger is dependent on size, then resource consumption would be exponential, I think (which leads to the previously mentioned scenarios). If she always grew x% things would get hairy pretty quick. If she always grew x amount, things still get hairy, but it takes longer.
If hunger is linear (say she requires .1 more apples per day) and growth is dependent on consumption then she would eventually reach a limiting size where satisfying her hunger caused a negligible increase in size. This would be far more sustainable (though over long periods it too eventually becomes fatal).

have you tried selling the "work with a magical girl", "sexy break time with other furry girls with hypersensitive tails","being part of a hive means you can tell if the there's someone in the hive that would be in to you 100% sure, no dating sites needed" and the various fetish angles, like people who like watching big girls eat would probably love supplying the queen while people who are oviposition and such would love being part of a hive too :D don't give up Rodovoy!! you can do it! I bet if you hire/recruit a marketing person you would find a surprising amount of sell angles :D :D
