I think this is why in many ways as successful as I've been in recruiting a number of folks to the #hive the majority just can't be bothered. Even though you explain you are rewarded for the effort you put in. In a subliminal way i think this is why they don't sign up. Faecesbook is passive, like gormlessly staring at a tv. Very little effort is required yet they will spend vasts amount of time on both of these activities. Because its largely passive. The few that have signed up don't expect riches but have none the less reaped a fair bit of reward as they applied themselves. Spent some actual energy on something. People want change but it's like they expect someone else to implement it. I don't think it's because the majority feel powerless but I see a lot of apathy and alor of lazy people. it's also sadly why it's easy to get the lazy and apathetic to follow certain types of people. people who promise things that for them is the path of least resistance
Yes, it is all entertainment, all consumption all not going to give any return other than filling time for the majority of people.
And, there is value in application - I feel better about myself as a creator over me as a consumer. Doesn't that matter to people?
I agree. It's why I enjoy this platform so much. I have to actually have to put some real thought and application into it even its me having fun. I like to mess with the new comic format for things and put some thought into any creative process. It's fun first, feedback is the best reward frompeople I really don't know. $ reward is last . I don't expect a fortune for every post. If it was that easy it would just be selfies all over the platform and no depth to the content.
It is like having a hobby of playing tennis or going to the gym - play hard, life personal bests, improve.
A lot of the disillusioned who believed it was like this, didn't last long. I guess there should be a place for the content - but there should be no expectation of it getting rewarded.
100% agree. I sometimes run into a mental creative block but thats why i like my coffee morning post. It's more catharsis for me to do every morning but even the I decided to funk around with it and make it more interesting for me if not the reader. Had some really excellent feedback too which was cool. Also it keep me engaged and then my inspiration comes along. I've only recently made a favourites feed as i was missing peoples posts that i like to engage with. that's now been corrected
