RE: Another MF'n HIVE Rant
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't think most users care about inflation. They care more about what rewards they get on their next post and that's not going to improve unless we see some dramatic increase in numbers. Hive is tiny with just a few thousand people active (mostly on Splinterlands it seems). We desperately need marketing that will persuade some 'influencers' to get on board. It may just take a few who bring their followers over. I'd love to see more musicians and bands that I like sign up so I can support them.
There was a marketing project, but their discord is dead. We have the HiveChat on Twitter, but that tends to be a Hive echo chamber. We need to reach beyond our community.
Hive will never be perfect, but it's better than most of the alternatives.
Oh get real, you refused to engage with real people on Steem, and it's likely you're just chasing votes here too.
Provide some blockchain stats on this crazy claim. It's more likely that Hive have about 100 active users, and you are disillusioned to think otherwise, unless you can provide some proof of 1000 users. I just don't see it from my ostracized point of view.
I was one of the most active people on Steem and went to two Steemfests as well as other events. You? It's what you make of it.

Thanks for the stats, It's good to know how 'unvaluable' I was, I guess not posting to Hive was the correct decision. Heaven forbid you motivate 70 reps non posters to post lol. BTW, I'm not going to provide stats, but it was organic 70 rep. My voice means as much as it's worth here in Hive, right? This place is a joke, please explain why it's failing... you think you weren't a part of the failure, think again.
and thanks for not upvoting my comment like I did yours, 100% :P
I expect you will reply with some drop your pants and let them hang response, don't bother with that pathetic shit, Hive votes mean nothing but morality to me, and you are devoid, obviously. Keep the vote and give it to pathetic folks who think hive will ever be worth something while being ditcated by morally deficient folks like yourself, Best wishes.
Perhaps because you started with an insult? I tend to encourage positive engagement. My choice. Begging for votes is so desperate.
I'm sorry for whatever I did to piss you off.
Maybe think back to Steem and you will figure it out, but probably not, I was never in the "in group". So gone on with your failing current perspective, and think people without are the reason for Hive's demise. This is literally a digital representation of everything that is wrong with the world, and you are complicit my (non) friend.
This is a part of the problem, from what I've seen. The people who ARE coming here seem to see it as a 'get rich quick' scheme. What this platform really needs right now isn't necessarily more creators, what it needs is more consumers. If enough people come here and just SEE what is going on, that will drive the attention the platform needs to grow quickly.
Hive seems to have a wonderful ecosystem of its own that sustains itself well, in my opinion to see the kind of growth that everyone seems to want all it really needs is more bodies.
I think those bodies will come if enough people just know it exists. I don't think you actually even need to get influencers on board, if you could just get some product placement in their mouths enough people would come here and stay.
I think we need a mix. There has to be a big enough audience to bring in big creators, but the masses want good content. I think we should aim for those who can't make much from other platforms, e.g. a band with 1000 real fans. If they all come over then they can get something going. When others see this they may try it. Need those pioneers.
I was on the Tsu platform more or less from the start until they lost funding. They had some fairly big names initially, but they did not stick around. I made a bit and others made more, but there was a lot of abuse such as spamming for likes. Hive is harder to kill, but we cannot be complacent. We have to do what we can to build and support the community. We stand to profit in the long run if it does grow.
Why would consumers buy hive? A 1000 . 001 upvotes isn't going to keep quality authors here. And, the consumers would get bored really fast.
I've been on here a year, and haven't run out of content yet, and living in NY state I'm not even able to buy Hive. As I said, there's already an ecosystem here, we don't need an influx of big new upvotes, we just need attention. Hive already has a decent selection of content creators who don't seem to be going anywhere, if we also had an audience, more content creators would come.
I've been here since 2016 and only drop by every once in a while, because the effort isn't worth it and 97% of the content is of no value... So, your point is subjective and since the platform isn't growing, moot.
