RE: Hive Hubs: Roles and Responsibilities

in Hive Hubsyesterday

Hi there, thanks for coming back to me.
These are great ideas, really nice to see them, although I am slightly concerned about the phrase I've highlighted

How to “mine” Hive with their content

Shouldn't this be about how people can participate/contribute, rather than this extractive framing? There have been numerous discussions about this and the problematic nature of managing these kinds of expectations when bringing new people to Hive.

I'd prefer to see something that focuses on the massive potential of Hive to create new worlds and alternative economies. We seem to have lost a bit of that vision since the pandemic.

The other thing that I'm looking at is how we attract audiences (consumers of content, although that is a horrible way to think of people) rather than creators - I wrote about it a bit in On Bringing New Audiences. Things have moved on since then. Thanks to the price of Hive I've been able to fund all three accounts, and I'm working with a designer on some promotional materials.

So yes...i can see the use of the word 'mine' is giving the attention to the 'blog make money' vibe.
Though I didn't write this final draft...i dont think the intention was to spread a leechy message.
I can say that your create new worlds and alternative economies was exactly where we were focusing in Guatemala. We were giving ease of use demonstrations. Our meetups focused on getting an account with check-in with. Then going down to cafe and making an immeadiate purchase of a drink so peeps could see how easy it was.
We created a type of lite account with room cards, that could be loaded with hbd and used to make purchases, all with no need to even sign up. Ie. Use the tools first and let peeps ask what this is, rather than a pitchy vibe of getting an account.

At the end of the day...these are all real world experiments...opinions on how to best spread hive are abundant. In the trenches iterations not so much.
im into yes, and... form of building and always open to ideas on how to add to and improve these attempts to bring hive into the real world.
