Fear not. I don't write a comment then expect to see a trend reversal immediately afterwards. If that were the case this place would have been booming years ago... lol I joke.
I did see a comment today though while browsing Hive that I'm not used to seeing. It went something like, "My friend introduced me to Vibes and I've been hooked on this site ever since." Their activity was all consumption.
I hope to see more of that. These people do exist. And so do the ones you mentioned. I get it.
Impressive.
"People are greedy." They want more and more entertainment. Then their needs are converted into greed and those other platforms generate billions for themselves.
That's been going on since the printing press, and probably even sooner. Not sure what they charged at the gates to the Roman Coliseum.
I've known for a long time trying to point out what I see as a clear benefit goes against how things "worked" for thousands of years. New concepts are like that though. People would throw horse shit at cars...
Have a good one dude.
