RE: Why do we struggle so much "marketing" HIVE?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Or, lead with content that cannot be ignored. Content that goes viral. We have no one that does that level of provocation, scandal, or whatever it is the traditional media wants to have go viral.
Instead we see the objectively not the best posts constantly get voted to the top to top of our trending pages, while authors that toil with long form, interesting, human stories languish in their communities, getting only minor and small amounts of engagement.
We need to stop upvoting content about the platform as generously as we currently do, and focus on real stories that will see HIVE content get picked up elsewhere. Content that will give people a reason to click, and not to just turn on their autovoters.
Actually based. Totally agree. But the social aspect of the platform is lacking... everyone goes to discord for the drama...
I never fully understood that "based" means, I have to confess. I just like saying the quiet part out loud.. but I don't think what I have said above is a quiet part. :)
This challenges whales who support dev content, and any kind of platform related content exclusively or disproportionately. When this happens it just perpetuates itself and the majority of new Hive users don't know how to fit-in in all that.
Its a problem of tag-and-pull between the social-blogger-creatives side and the Crypto-dev-investors. One side says that "we need to focus on improving what is already there", and the other side is saying "no, we have to build better systems on top first". Both a right and wrong at the same time - that is why we're stuck in a stalemate of not having a clear marketable direction.
The irony is that we have a platform that works. So many other projects do not.
