Hello achim03, how are you? hehe, today I come to disagree, when you comment "Why the monetary argument doesn't work" this argument does not work because there is not money for everyone, that is why many leave, so we could talk about those who stay, do they stay for the money? Let's analyze what Hive gives to those people who stay?
Contact with other people, many social networks can already have that superficially, Facebook, Instagram titok and if they want something more select divided by interests "Communities" you also have them on Facebook, blog or forums, in all of them for sure You will find incredibly cool people with whom you will share many things and others not so much "nothing new here"
Anti-censorship, the truth is hive is quite censored at the community level, each community has its rules as it should be, if you go outside of them you will be censored like in any blog, forum or social network "nothing new here" even if you want to publish Pretty crazy things for that the deep web has so again "nothing new here"
Easy money, making easy money, without a doubt it is not a feature of blogs, forums, Facebook, etc. In all of them, for you to start earning money you need to have a high amount of work behind you, not in hive, just like comment on the first post it may be the easiest way to make money in the world here hive if it presents us with something new making money quickly and easily, but the misreading is believing that it will stay that way, easy money becomes laborious but that's not all The person can create good content but if they don't make connections the money won't come to them "those end up leaving too"
So we can shift the question, what do they get from hive that they don't get from other communities (wherever they are) to those people who stay? The answer is undoubtedly "money"
All the people you see who are promoting hive have something in common, and that is that they earn at least, they aspire to earn money with hive, that is, it is not important if the person is in the community of games, movies, photos, etc., everyone Something unites them, we are in hive for money.
Imagine that in hive the inflation APR of the currency or the HBD did not exist nor that there was money for votes, how many people would you find in the communities or rather how many communities would exist? How many people would you see in a hive t-shirt doing a meeting to tell other people that hive trains?
That's why I see it differently, money is the only reason why people stay in hive, so much so that everyone who stays earns money and those who don't earn leave, that's why for me you should sell more like what you really do. It is first a blog in which you can first earn money by networking either as an employee or by creating content and not by popularity, number of followers or views (this is what hive has different), in which you can also earn money through investment, I think that by really indicating how hive works, of course the amount of person's income decreases but the % attrition of that income would also be much lower.
Achim03 now an honest question, do you think it's wrong that people are in hive for the money?
Hi my friend, thanks a lot for this great comment. Even if you disagree with me, I believe that we don't have such different opinions about it :-).
The problem in my opinion is that if we put the monetary side first when trying to attract people, showing them the trending page with hundreds of dollars of post value, we send an untrue message that will result in disapointment.
People coming to hive because of the big money will undoubtably be disapointed because there is no big money. There is money but it takes time, relations and efforts to achieve it.
I totally agree with you that without monetization, we could also spend our time on facebook or all the other social media platforms. The monetary aspect sets hive aside but I think it's not the best argument for trying to onboard people.
I see some efforts are made on twitter that show that you can make 30$ or 100$ from a post. That is simply not true for somebody starting out.
Absolutely not, I think it's one of the great things that the blockchain brings. However, I think that the message to the people who are not on the blockchain should be truthfull: you can make money but it will take time and require effort. However, you can meet a lot of interesting people on the way and have a lot of fun :-)
I am very happy to hear that, there is a group of hivers who want to show hive as a religion and say that being in hive for money is a sin, I totally agree with you, sincerity must be sought, indicating that it takes time and effort, we can Using university study as an example, most enter a university to graduate (obtain a degree) that is the common goal of everyone, and along the way you will most likely experience incredible things and also meet great people, which keeps people in the loop. universities is the possibility of graduating.
Greetings
That's a very interesting analogy and very spot on :-)
