Exactly. Most people don't get that. They don't seem to understand how a profitable company works either and it seems I constantly have to explain it. I apologize for my overly defensive posture regarding Hive. I see those comments all over the place, people thinking that the Hive community is somehow able to cut off their income after 7 days or something is just wrong.

I can understand your frustration. Hive is worth defending. But remember: people's minds are still needing to transition to understand this thing called Hive. From my research, you have been here at least six years. I have been here four. To us, seeing the opportunity is like seeing the world we live in... because we do. We have chosen Hive. Other people see Hive, but the learning curve is steep if all you know is workaday world, not in business, not in the military. I was a professional researcher, so, in a day's time I can get around what is peertube, Hive-Tube, Cast.Garden, the Fediverse. But for all the wonderful reasons there are to build and be on Hive, if asking a question is a mistake, most people will not persevere to an answer ... and musicians and artists, who I know you care about, are especially sensitive souls.
I accept your apology, and I do like what I am seeing as the picture comes together. I have quite a bit of music on YouTube that might go well on Cast.Garden, and I am doing a series on my experiences in crypto and how to get started that might fit well. I also read that Hive-Tube is looking for someone to run a Hive-Tube page for musicians and artists, and I might be able to hook someone up with you on Hive who might be interested. I need to make sure I understand so YOU don't have to do all that extra explaining, though, so if I have any further questions, I will email you.
It's nice to know there is someone out there like you @deeanndmathews who has the patience to explain these things to people. Make it "grandma-friendly" for them as I always say.
I do love Meetups however and meeting new people. Ask me about something I am passionate about and I'll talk your ear off.
The 7-day "limit" comment comes up a lot, it feels like a btc maxi troll trying to talk me out of Hive and talk up their coin. I actually bookmarked that reply I sent to you since it comes up so often. So I have this "don't mess with my Hive!" defense mechanism now.
For me this stuff is second nature. I've been running businesses and releasing software products since 1993 so for me to explain to someone again and again how money works and why UX is so important etc becomes, well, annoying. I worked a Tech Support job for 1 day once if that tells you anything about me hehe ;)
Thanx for your understanding (Dee?), ping me any time if you need anything. 😊

There is a reason everybody loves Grandma ... but also why business needs harder-driving, get-it-done, no-nonsense types as well. Because Hive is an organic community, there is room for both!
BTC maxis are annoying ... I liken them to cult members ... but most new Hivers are just thrown by coming into an environment in which working vertically to maximize the seven days is so new ... as if someone were to take a sailing vessel suitable for my local bay and try to round the Cape of Good Hope with it ... that would lead to some flailing around in the water, but they actually are not trying to drown anyone or even baptize anyone into their cult like the BTC maxis, although I imagine you must just get tired of being splashed and dragged into the same conversation, over and over and over again ...
Dee, or Deeann, are both fine. I have been dubbed "Ms. Dee" by so many friends and students that it has stuck, so I use it as my brand name, if you will. I presume your name is Kenneth and you prefer Ken ...
"No-nonsense" is spot on. We don't have time to waste. Build build build.
Many people use the web3 buzzword all over the place too, but have no freakin clue what it means. Use web3, as much of it as you can, or else stop talkin about it. The maxis proclaim to be sooooo decentralised, yet they still push their right-wing Gab page like it's goin out of style. hypocrisy I tells ya 😩
Nope, just Ken actually, nice to "meet" you Dee :)
I love your "Cape" analogy btw. Spot on!
Oh, I heard about Gab ... what a mess!
It is nice to meet you too ... a bit of a rough start, but, onward!
