Because blogging text with a few images inserted ISN'T what masses seek.
VIDEO IS KING.
CONSTANT STREAM,
THE ATTENTION RETAINER.
It can't get much simpler.
Nothing will change here,
Unless coders make that platform.
REWARDS are not the big draw.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I disagree with the comment about the coders - though I agree with the other things you say.
Coders have a heavy responsibility, for sure, but the type of responsibility I'm talking about is how the bloggers are using the platform.
It's a change in the way that content creators, and content curators are leveraging HIVE to provide a unique project to serve an audience that is bigger than HIVE.
Many people are just blogging to get some rewards, or have some community.
They need to realize that their project is not over when they hit PUBLISH on HIVE.
That's just a hive update.
The real project and the real audience are larger.
That posture / attitude / perspective shift, is about how people are using the platform that already exists here, not just what the devs ought to do to make things better.
Yeah your points are solid and all that does matter when a platform really represents people and their ideas/projects.
The code though is the base. It's fundamental for growth.
If the platform is so basic that there's no way for those things to be implemented by user then it will always be wishful thinking and as you point out. One needs too exist outside of here to then make it all worth it.
The reason I target coders also is that they ARE boasting, claiming
"This is Web 3.0" when no.. it isn't. It might feel like it because they work with future/new code but the product is basic and not inviting.
That's why it needs major improvements.
blocktrades seems to see that at least.
I'm curious what he will bring with his second layer systems.
That there might really make this place superior (as a blockchain at least).
Because what I believe is missing is what you outline.
ACTUAL REWARD for all those who you engage with and engage back.
Even a person that just views should have an incremental reward attached.
Without having to play the "im on your curator trial" game.
Even after the rewards window your content is still valuable yet the system says "no sorry you only get to eat for a few days"
It should also be a system you don't even need to actively be a worker bee for.
That's the part I really can't see as a positive.
I despise the MLM system. You should too.
