RE: Why wouldn't someone join Hive?

in OCD4 years ago

Most came with a "your voice has value", work wasn't mentioned.

Because prospective clients would see my jobs and book me for sessions.

Yes, this is the value of having lots of people on a platform, it starts generating secondary economies. WE aren't there yet, this is an immature industry (social blockchain/crypto) in an immature industry (blockchain/crypto) - the introduction of value changes the dynamic heavily from a regular social media that is fully controlled centrally - including at the development level.

So for me, the compensation is the fact that I could get upvoted for the content I share here.

What about the support of those who share their content? Everyone wants value for their own content without thinking if they should also be adding value to others. What I like about Hive and having stake is that big or small, I can have some impact on the lives of other creators in a very real and direct way.

But how many newbies will get to that level of mind development?

This is what has to be a global paradigm shift and it isn't easy being at the front, as there are no leaders to follow.

Especially when the concept that is sold to them is; blog and get paid.

My point exactly.

Well, to be honest, I wish I could add value too, but right now, my influence on Hive doesn't worth anything. So I don't exactly seek out posts to upvote. However, for posts that catch my attention[like yours, and posts in my niché], I do leave valuable comments].

Right now, I'm mostly building rep and relationships on the Hive. If I get to the point where my influence has value, then I'll begin relating with posts more by upvoting.

How do you build rep and relationships without seeking for posts to upvote?

How do you think a person gets to a point that their influence has value on Hive?

Well, I think organic comments help. Reblogging helps too.

For this, I was talking about monetary value.

Comments help, participation helps - building a network is like building many friendships - there is a lot of giving.

Anyone has the option to buy in. It isn't always possible for everyone though, so it means doing the grind. For a little information though, having a large stake doesn't come with influence, there are plenty here who seem to have very little voice at all, no matter how much they have.

This is a very rare event though. If we are being honest.

Nope, it is rather common. People are attratced to stake for sure, but they don't seem to see that those who they are attracted to have influence beyond their stake and some people have influence with little stake at all. Stake and influence are different animals, though they can be used to compound against each other if a person is willing to both add stake and work. My account is a ground up build that started from a scratch in nothing - no stake, no influence. The influence started before the stake was significantly influential because of where I spent my time and energy.

I get your point now..
