Your favorite ListNerds meme compilation creator here. Also the only one so that doesn't really mean a lot.
But in all seriousness, as in life so it is on hive... respect means so much. I literally respect a hiveian based on two metrics: firstly the quality of their content and secondly their conduct/behaviour (you score highly on both counts my friend). E.g. like you mentioned, if I open a listnerds mail I'll always click through to an actual hive post, or even sometimes another website they're describing/promoting, and usually comment. And if there is decent effort and skill in either (or both) the email or content they'll get my upvote on both hive and listnerds.
The opposite applies for shoddy emails I'm afraid, they get the dreaded downvote. And the truth is that shouldn't be a problem. It should incentivize them to put in some time and effort, if it doesn't they're kinda missing the point.
I also love the way you can ressurect posts from the distant past, for me I only do that if they're something I'm very proud of, that took hours/days to produce and I'm kinda sad that no one will ever read them again without a listnerd email reminder. E.g. I promoted my hive bookstore which lists short stories I've published on hive comprising 78,453 words (a paper back novel averages 80k words). Many people responded to that email and commented on the bookstore post, and when I looked at peakd's analytics I saw that around 12 people had clicked short stories from that list, some over 4 years old. This made me 😁 so much. It's not about the limitation of the 7 day post rewards structure, I understand why that's needed to stop abuse. But the same 7 day window means that often posts are essentially dead after that window is up.
Listnerds changes that and I've always said that the 7 day window is why many serious writers either leave or never join hive. I personally know one writer who's published in the traditional world, like by a large publishing house, and when I showed him hive and suggested he might join he laughed at me. His exact words: "why would I limit any of my work to 7 day pay/promotional window". The general consensus of higher up types on hive seems to be 'fck those types of people, we don't need them' but believe me the writer in talking about would being national news paper coverage if they joined and wrote on hive.
Anyway, epic comment over 😂 much respect Amir!
Exactly, it should make them think, and be better.
That's what I love! I have this post 10 things every newbie should know when you join Listnerds and it's 9 days old but I've seen the views go from 100+ to 200+ in the past days. Some things are perfectly fine sharing again IMO as they are great articles or valuable to keep sharing like tutorials etc.
I actually kinda covered these in the follow-up post I made like an hour ago. But, yeah, I agree.
It is self-respect as well. If I see you not showing respect to your work and have it looking like a jumbled mess or idea, why should I respect you? Same if you treat me like a teenage fan and do not show respect by responding to a comment and so on. I like what you said about the way someone conducts themselves.
We have something very beautiful at our hands and we should preserve it.
