It was just the other day that I was watching some videos on 'the tube' which I still watch regularly for exposure to my own hobbies, along with business inspiration. Several of those folks have live streams and people readily donate to them (myself included) for the services provided. The value I receive from those videos is worth the money spent when compared to classes or workshops with very high fees.
Folks are tuning in to see and listen to alternative sources and Hive could absolutely be one of those same sources for news, views and entertainment. I'll check out the Why Files.
Yes. People are paying for everything, because people are interested in everything, and they have the option.
Meanwhile, your money goes a lot further here using these tools. And I think this approach would encourage even more people to be in support of the things they're interested in, since it makes it so much more affordable.
That's "the new internet" and this is "the new tech" and "the new money" so to me it only makes sense taking that direction is wise.
I've been waiting for this to click for several years here, since before it was so common over there and elsewhere. In a sense this platform was ahead of its time. Now it needs to play catch up in some ways.
I could also go off on another tangent, talking about how important this tech is when it comes to solving problems in the future caused by centralized AI sources. But those issues won't be evident for another 5 to 10 years at least so maybe I'll wait.
Why Files is a cool show. You'll like it. Hecklefish's audio can be a bit obnoxious at times though. Some of those videos get demonitized by Youtube so he just reached out and got support the new way. Carries on. Does really well.
Ahead of it's time is right, and while everyone (minus a few, like yourself) was entranced with this new gig, we weren't paying attention to the other social platforms. Actually, I'm talking about myself lol...I was not paying attention.
I'll be patiently waiting for the next tangent.
