Not sure of the exact number, but a majority of the folks I cleaned off the list barely got off the ground. Many of the people who remain have been around and active for quite awhile, plus there's some new faces on there. On a few occasions when I was digging around to check for activity, I noticed folks had powered down completely, therefore no RC, and the tokens are just sitting in the wallet. Some have been sitting there like that for years. So even if they did want to kick back and earn by consuming/curating... they can't.
You have a good point here.
No matter how good the system is, it will never keep 100%.
Glue is not the answer. It is what it is and it is not that bad.
Majority don't give it enough time off the start, it seems. But yeah it's meant to be difficult, not easy. Several would earn more by purchasing and staking, comments, etc. That's far easier. Most of the current crowd of creators are dying for an audience. Some just post, collect, don't care. People coming and going is natural behavior in the end.
I think if you pulled 10k accounts from a Facebook group like I said in the post, set that same group up here, but now everyone can earn, those people would be interested, but they can't be lured in with the promise of riches. But if 10k more content creators come, without consumers, there's not enough dedicated consumers here to support them. So that's why I bring up consumers and point out how important they are. The focus has always been to attract more creators. I view that as a big mistake.
Converting existing communities into Hive communities could work. But I'm not sure if you get Facebook communities converted. Facebook's glue is strong.
This is definitely the wrong signal. This attracts people who leave just as fast as they came.
I should also add, the consumers need to know it takes money to make money, but if they're directed to throw money into an unproven and new token, for a simple community, it becomes a tough sell. With the Hive token in place as is, they can get a feel for things first, buy some Hive, get a better feel, then move over to another token of their choosing, if that's how things are going. I don't really see that working out though and I realize its an unpopular opinion but still, I'm unsure if folks around here are looking at things from every angle. Hive and the reward pool helps get things off the ground, in these scenarios, and that's important. Nobody wants to gamble, they want to get set up first.
That's what I thought the communities were for! LOL! But instead we took an already tiny market, then split it up into way more and far tinier sections. Facebook didn't have groups like that until it was sustainable, and they flourished. The content on Facebook is CHEAP though. But I imagine 100 out of 10k would probably be able to keep those 9900 people occupied. Now, they probably wouldn't be making the big bucks, especially off the start, but in most cases, one individual earning ten cents is far more than the entire group earned over the span of many years. This isn't a tough sell, but like I said in the post, doing it now is somewhat confusing.
Another concern I have is the talk of the Hive token being stripped of functionalities, including the reward pool going away. And these communities of the future would then be on their own, with their own token, and that would be a disaster for 99% of people who tried without some kind of a lifeline to help get them started.
I'm not sure if there were a concrete target audience when they designed communities.
This is the bitter truth, yeah.
In theory, this won't hurt your HIVE assets. But I am not a fan of it either and I don't think we will see that
anytime soon.Maybe HIVE is fine, but does the 'theory' explain how to grow the project after? Not really. It's more or less "our money is safe and the rest of you are on your own. See ya." I won't support that idea until I see a battle plan.
