RE: Hive Needs Services Not Users
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
On Hive, we all know that promoting the idea of "get reward for blogging" doesn't work.
We know that blogging for a tiny fraction of the pool doesn't work.
20 accounts take 50% of the pool.
Day after day, year after year.
It's better since the fork, so the prior years only serve to reinforce my supposition.
2m+ accounts, 10k daily actives.
I'd call that rejection definitive.
where do you get your news?
How come they do not turn to Hive?
Hell, just look around the Internet to see what is already offered and mirror it. That is an easy starting point.
did it even dawn on most people on Hive to post news related information so that it is available? I would guess most likely not.
Heck, for the most part, we cannot even find cryptocurrency pricing.
Do we need more evidence of the bubble you are in?
Because they get flagged off the platform if they didn't include 200+ words 'original' content.
A link and responding to comments is not good enough.
Ask @hivewatchers.
@lukewearechange is only one of many that have been flagged away from using this crowd to get their content out.
His audience has only grown since he gave up on us.
@maxigan can say the same.
@tdvtv is flagged even when they set the rewards to burn.
Their influence is large in crypto, and 'we' ran them off.
Wait until your benefactors turn on you, you will see with new eyes.
We are not the interwebz meme capitol for the same reason.
Non-original memes are flagged with malice aforethought if the rewards aren't burned.
Original memes don't find favor with the cliques.
Policing memes to enforce rules around originality is nearly impossible, so they all just get flagged.
More original creators than I can count have been flagged from the platform, for one reason, or another.
Some valid, some less so.
You were here, but I guess you missed that.
I don't see you in the antiabuse servers very often.
Even daily activity doesn't find favor.
@fernandosoder keeps hivetasks up, but you can't tell it by the largess that has been bestowed upon him.
The cliques don't circle jerk him.
How many people use that service but can't give the guy the time of day?
Or videos that people will watch for either entertainment or information?
Skatehype seems to be doing well in that area.
Hive desperately needs services.
IF somebody is doing stickers, I got some I need printed.
TM, I know I can come across as judgmental, but I am just stating facts here.
If the facts lead you to conclude that I am judgmental, that is on you, and doesn't reflect on me at all.
Change the facts, if their telling doesn't suit you.
These are great points. Activity that may be fruitful for Hive from a marketing or building perspective is often deincentivized, which only works to the platform's chagrin. The negative consequences are often controlled by a very small number of entities, which reeks of centralization simply due to their large stake. 2nd layer solutions are feasible, but also far less marketable due to the complexity - after all, we struggle to get people on the base layer before we even start diving deeper into the next layer!
I recently came across this issue in my own community. I think there is a place for attributed, copied content. We just have to figure out how to properly use it without unjustly disengaging the people who create original content.
When the chain launched chain bloat was a real issue.
Now, not so much.
Hw's has not modified their approach to 'abuse' in the least.
I think it is time to reevaluate the referenced 'consensus' around content, but they do not.
Leaving us in the crab bucket.
IF you don't like how hive is being managed, power up more hive.
The level of tone deaf on this post is astounding, to me.
It just goes to show how insular the top really is.
It's definitely worth making the effort to adjust to changes. Stagnation is the enemy of progress. I think it's important enough that I'm going to continue to keep decisions community-based while still fighting for the trends that we see in microblogging (even if I don't personally participate). They absolutely hold value!
