One question about "New Hive users." How is that defined? First entry/post = new and after that they are no longer considered new. Or are they considered "new" until some criteria is met, like a time frame or x amount of entries... ?
Other than that, I'd like to say I'm impressed with the progress so far. Also happy to see this is attracting outside acts to the platform (some incredible talent so far). Even more happy to see there's some focus/incentives included to help encourage their fans to come along as well. Being rewarded for simply enjoying something like a musical performance is pretty cool and something I think many Hive members take for granted at this point, meanwhile there are millions out there who enjoy music daily online yet have no clue about the perks that come standard here. They deserve to know and hopefully some of these new artists/musicians showing up are able to guide them.
Just for first entry if Vibes is the reason theyve created the account. Old Hive users will have an advantage over new users of being on hive longer, their own communities, friends so this is just here to balance it out a bit. Its not a major factor in overall score.
Its like I actually thought about this in advance. haha. 😂
thx for the feedback.
I mean this is just further my attempt for us to get out of our little echochamber, tiny chunk of the internet and spread our wings and efforts towards people outside Hive.
Too many people here are content with just getting a few votes, networking only inside Hive. We got to a point where we dont have a single crypto relevant person on Hive.
With all the brilliant minds we have here, and great dapps, amazing tech, thats sad. Only recently we have been starting to wake up with what Crim is doing, 3speak guys, etc.
Could attract the ten biggest names in music today but if they don't bring their fans/supporters with them, all they're doing is performing for, us.
Same thing goes for crypto personalities, news personalities, youtube personalties, popular game streamers, and so on. Seen it happen countless times. Thousands of followers elsewhere, no views here, and that's because they never brought their people with them. Ends up being a huge missed opportunity for the big name and their fans, along with everyone else down the line, including us...
So yeah. Good thing you didn't forget about that part.
In the meantime I'll continue to support the acts I enjoy, when I can. I'll also pay attention to comment sections and look for these new fans and if I see some new accounts leaving interesting comments, maybe I'll upvote some of those as well. And maybe in time it'll get to a point where some of these new acts will be able to support their fans like that on their own. We'll see. Would be cool to see some paying supporters show up as well. Staking and voting is a far better deal than traditional tipping/donations. That's another concept I think far too many here simply take for granted, never realizing its true potential.
Yep. Thats why firstly I require them to post their entry on Twitter which assures their followers see it instead of telling them to post it just to Hive.
Thats because we asked me to come here and JUST USE HIVE. We should have found a way for their followers to SEE THEM USING HIVE.
That was the mistake imo.
Theres things im thinking about.. ofc, down the line. 😉
Still a few steps to go over.
