Is there any way to check for consumer accounts? Accounts that signed on, made a token purchase (small or large), and show signs of only voting and leaving comments.
That's a lot of posts or in other words, a lot of product. I'd really like people to see how low the actual dedicated consumer numbers are. I've been pointing this out for years and in this business, those consumers are supposed to outnumber posters or creators by a huge margin. I don't even understand why it's so important to show how much product we're creating here when it's not technically being consumed or purchased.
Look how full our shelves are! Now, in business, what's the next obvious step? Hmmm? ;)
Yes I know what you mean!
We haven't been able to attract consumers.
There is some info about page views and visitors on sites like
https://hypestat.com/info/peakd.com
How many people visit Peakd.com each day? • Peakd.com receives approximately 88.7K visitors and 718,783 page impressions per day.88k per day just for Peakd. Hive.Blog has around 140k.
Overall more than 200k.
For reference we might have around 10k active monthly users.
Now the thing is these are random internet consumers. They are not engaged with the platform in the way we natives are.
Maybe we should put a banner on the top of our frontends get paid for clicking the like button :) ... and invite them to join.
P.S the positve thing is that we have consumers, they are just in the shodows, and we havent been able to bring them to light :)
Most people are not content creators, they are consumers. Those consumers can earn, for consuming. I've pointed this out before but earning 5 cents for a comment is more than all consumers earned in ten years on Youtube.
That's a huge fail in my mind if the site is attracting that many outsiders randomly, while for years the place is looking for investors, and here we are sitting on a frickin goldmine, completely ignoring the nuggets.
In another comment earlier today I pointed out these outsider consumers should be able to comment as guest accounts, and stake holders should be able to reward/interact with those comments, but the consumer can't receive those rewards until they sign up officially. From they they can be taught all about how to earn as a consumer. It's a way to get them in the door, and it's an age old proven business model known as The Tourist Trap. Might sound ugly but it works well, and other tourist traps typically take the consumer money, but here it's a give and take system.
I'm still perplexed though when I think about why so many here can't seem to see the potential in that market of consumers, or even think about it. Hardly a mention of it anywhere until I start yapping about it, it seems.
Already happening on Leofinance.
Again already on Leofinance. People can log in using Metamask and post just like anyone else. Shortly, Twitter accounts will be added.

Great news for LEO, but that's only one magazine on this entire multi-media Hive rack. We love crypto here, and money talk. The rest of the world pays attention to other things and everything else, more. PeakD is offering the tasty salad of everything, so this potential should be realized, especially when one can clearly see how something as small as LEO can pull it off.
Without a doubt the other communities and front ends need to follow suit.
3Speak had implemented a guest account feature some time back for their platform too.
So a few did it but most did not.

The part that concerns me now is attracting capable people who can see there's tremendous value and potential in these communities and front ends; those who can take charge, build/maintain. It's easy to fill the shelves with product, and should be much easier to sell this product by attracting the consumer breed of investor. Also a common goal must be to create healthy competition within this ecosystem. People who want to score goals (communities) but will also pass the puck so the entire team can win (Hive). The other type of competition that gobbles up what it can take then goes off on its own is unhealthy competition and we've seen that occur on a few occasions already.
This is a huge step forward and I guess other frontends should follow and Leofinance is not for everyone. Non-financial content consumers should have a chance to engage logging in with their social media accounts. Would open up a new door.

that, 100% agree:
Good point.
From my understanding, most front ends serve producers not consumers.
All I see is people shifting over to Leo as Leo price increases. A sensible tactic on a personal level.
It's also a sign Leo is doing well, but it's also a sign of how niche Hive still is.
But, unless the quality goes way up (let's face it most people aren't quality financial content creators), the quantity won't make a difference.
I still have to scroll past dozens of highly 'rated' posts about Hive and Leo to find anything of value or interest. And when I bring it up, I'm told most people HERE are interested in this. Fair enough, and I do find the odd crypto post I like. But well over 99.99% of finance has nothing to do with Hive or Leo.
The best I see is some TA tutorials or decent discussion of crypto news.
I dream for the day I can come to Leo Finance quality insight.
This tells me few care about the bigger picture and only interested in personal gain and preaching to the choir.
If typical posts about typical topics are typically rewarded, we can expect to see nothing untypical.
"Get paid to produce content" is the common selling point and probably the biggest ongoing error for the past over four years now. Focusing only on crypto and the crypto crowd is another common mistake we see happening regularly. The quality doesn't really matter when it's not up to a massive market of consumers to decide what's good, organically. Typically in content production, some of the money earned goes into producing bigger and better content but since consumers don't drive the price of the token up, it's hard to make a decent living, then improve the content, which leads to the platform looking more professional. I wrote a bit about that progression stuff at least once.
Personal gain and preaching to the choir... ugh. Another thing I'd call a mistake.
I mean, it's not all bad and I do see progress. Some good things to talk about, sure, and I could say a few things but I guess this isn't that conversation... LOL
