RE: Opinion: The way forward.

Yes, you've all been saying it's going to zero since the first day I arrived. Based on the same logic, all these tribes are going to zero as well, correct?

Why not simply flip the business model? Instead of catering to giving free handouts to what you describe as something worthless, in so many words, why not focus on consumers? "Nobody will pay out of pocket for content here..." Correct? Even though people all over the internet do pay for free content, getting ripped off along the way. The tribes don't even sell their content. Why is that? Do you know? Why is something that typically generates billions annually treated like an expense here? Could it be because the crypto crowd doesn't understand the business they're in? I think so.

Sort:  

And thinking the internet is only about content is why we are still stuck.

It’s about things to do.

Stop pigeon-holing everything into one and we might get somewhere more fun. There can be creators and consumers but not everyone are them.

Games, nfts, yadda yadda yadda. It's all content. And of course not everyone is a content creator. That's why you'll see one instance of content, like a video on Youtube, with 100k views. That's 100k consumers. Everyone is a consumer of something online. No denying that.

You mentioned viral content. Do you know what makes it difficult for content to go viral these days? The fact several instances of the same content are plastered all over the place. If I post, let's say 100 view on Hive blog. So from that group only a few will share and that link will only travel and spread as far as that group can take it. Same with the PeakD. That group can only send the the peakd link they shared so far before that too stagnates. Then say I used a tribe tag. Same thing. That group viewing on POB as example can only share that link so far. An article or Youtube video goes viral because there is ONE instance surrounded by ALL consumers who then share that one instance which travels further since the market wasn't fractured. Take those characters who post their bogus 'news' junk on every crypto platform they can find. Notice how not one of them ever goes viral even though their content is "everywhere"? That's why...

Doesn't matter. Name one piece of recognisable content where people are like "that was from Hive".

It does matter. You always need consumers to be around and share. I brought up how some pay consumers to not consume and how the fractured markets play a role in preventing content from going viral. Those are problems that can be solved. Blaming the content creators in a sense for things beyond their control is flawed logic.

All of my content is recognizable and people know it comes from Hive. So I named several and it was easy.

And what's wrong with some people enjoying the content like videos, art, music, articles, personalities, etc while others enjoy games or investment opportunities or whatever. Nobody is forcing everyone to do all the things. For instance I don't give a shit I can't use the LEO tag every time I post and I don't feel like I'm losing because my content doesn't fit. For the most part I'm not even interested in crypto but you don't see me telling those people to shut it down so we can make this all about content creation and consumption.

People can do whatever the hell they want here. What's wrong with that? Nothing.

I don’t know what the hell you are arguing about but keep typing.

You seem highly offended by the idea of each community having their own token and think that would somehow dilute your HIVE when it wouldn’t.

If it did, ETH would have failed long ago with ERCs.

I'm not offended. This is just what happens when people try to have a conversation. You probably think I'm trying to 'win' the conversation but really all I'm doing is offering my ideas.

offended by the idea of each community having their own token and think that would somehow dilute your HIVE when it wouldn’t.

To be honest I don't even know where you get that idea from. I have no problem at all with community tokens and only talked about ways to create demand for them, and I included Hive as well since it's a community token.

Ah okay. My mistake.

Such is the limit of text-based communication.

Happens to me quite often, especially when I attempt to talk about these things. Don't worry and fear not. I find that part funny as well. Normally these days I just stay quiet and let the small group who enjoys that script cheer for it but today I had time... LOL

get a room you two
