RE: Hive A $3 Billion Blockchain?

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I don't view it as a blogging platform, but just because I read really much about the topic and can connect different dots. The user coming from outside does not have this dots he can connect. The way Hive markets himself (If I look into Reddit and similar (popular) forum sites) is exactly that. You don't believe me? Check Hive's subreddit. You won't get an idea Hive could be more than a blogging plattform only.

As for your experience, I believe it is common. People are enter based upon the idea of being rewarded immediately for their content tend to get frustrated.

Well I am not frustrated about this. I don't spend that much time over here and do not care about rewards anyway, but this is what I see if I am looking for interesting content. My comment was more a try to clarify that I can not see a direct connection between quality content & good rewards. I see good content highly undervalued and I see bad content highly overvalued.

With LeoFinance, good point. I discovered yesterday and it's really better than Hive.Blog oder Peakd.com. That's why I started to comment and even write a blog. But at the end I can't judge this frontend after 1 day.

There is no accounting for misguided people. They can tout the idea of blogging all they want, they are holding onto something from 2017. Hive has evolved whether they realize it or not. They can promote the idea of Hive as an entity, it is nothing more than a database. That is truly what they are trying to market. It will not work.

That is why, for years, I said if you want to market Hive, pick an app and market the crap out of it. That is how growth will take place. Alas, they kept doing the same thing, trying to promote Hive.

Fortunately, the DApps are starting to do their own thing which is growing the user base, albeit slowly. This is where the marketing needs to come from and the gaming apps seems to be having the success. That only makes sense since gaming is like a thousand time bigger on the internet than blogging.

Sadly, a lack of search is still a challenge. There is really not a way to find content that one wants.

Leofinance is targeted and specific, so that is a big advantage over Hiveblog and Peakd. They cater to everyone, which is fine but also creates a bigger mess (especially without the search). Leofinance deals in finance and crypto; still a wide range but at least gets away from photography and what one had for dinner.

Right. That's what make it interested for me, besides the better UI.

Would be one of my biggest points for usability aswell.

But I think we should be interested in marketing this plattform. As we discussed it's more than a space for blogging. But the average user from the outside has no chance to get this perspective from a outer look. We should change that and find a solution to present Hive and the whole economy behind it in a different way, than we do today.

I wrote this before, but still relevant...

Sometimes I think Hive is a niche plattform, which want's to remain in a niche.

We should (try to) change this.
