You're an example here as well, @thatkidsblack.
Just wanna give a shoutout to @starkerz, @theycallmedan, @brianoflondon, and @taskmaster4450 for hosting the CTT podcast. While CTT is busy setting up a Twitch Livestream, which I honestly believe would attract new users for sure, they do this for free. Every time I tune in, I get a lot of value out of it, as a Hive user. And, educating Hive users properly is also one factor that should not be ignored IMO. In a sense, CTT is educating Hivers about Crypto and Blockchain, and not perse the "Hive is great" education everyone on Hive already knows about.
A note though, Twitter Spaces is just one way to get more exposure and eyes to Hive. Actively inviting people from other ecosystems/blockchains and having them in for a chat, in, for example, a CTT podcast could also be highly attractive, as there's a whole Hive crowd welcoming all sorts of people to the Hive community.
Despite that, if you run a business: pay the expenses from the profit you get from running it. Of course, there are tools that run on a zero-profit model, or are highly beneficial for the Hive community, but usually, these tools are Hive-focused.
It's good that people like yourself are speaking up. I sometimes lack the "proper" wording.
Good to hear you earlier today man!
Of course but thats not what the proposal makers will be doing. Thats what CTT, Dan and Matt are doing. Those requesting funds need to be going out and talking about their project with people that arent on Hive.
It was fun. 😉
