Isn't it cool how my ramblings about nothing can trigger so many moments of clarity.
Maybe I should be on Twitter...
For me my position (before POSH efforts especially) was if a consumer was wise enough to stake HIVE in order to qualify for benefits, they earn by sharing if they also vote then receive curation(consumer) reward. The 'share to twitter' button, when pressed, would have functioned the same way as the vote button plus sharing to twitter.
A frontend could have that up and running in a matter of days. Then there's yet another reason to stake and hold HIVE. These second layer options work fine as well. Fun watching you folks find creative ways to achieve these goals.
I also like how the tweets show up in the comment feed (hated that at first but now I can see important stats in real time which is a good thing) but I will remind everyone how much of a disaster that'll be if a post actually does go viral. That comment would be a neverending scroll. I suggest planning for that. Reach a certain amount and the tweet post could shrink in size, for instance. So you'd have thousands of smaller thumbnails, maybe. I'm just thinking out of my ass right now.
Still. Keep it up. Running a tight ship. Good to see.
Yeah, I guess that'd be a good problem to run into in the future, maybe it would just stop embedding tweets after a certain amount and only list all the hive usernames instead.
Can you believe that the initial idea for POSH was to help Steemit when the bear market hit and they set up their adrevenue on the website to receive more ad traffic? What a wonderful segway into instead helping Hive get a lot more traffic, but goes to say that once/if other platforms do implement non-intrusive opt in ads they may share with authors and consumers, that posh could have a nice role in that as well.
Names would look ugly. Add columns, shrink them down, five wide would shorten the scroll distance a lot. Clicking the smaller version would enlarge it, much like how images can be interacted with, I suppose. That's getting fancy.
Kind of funny how they added in ads, all while at the same time chasing consumers away with bidbotted madness. Dude I still cringe...
Anything that is rewarding consumers here, and driving more potential consumers eyes here, I'm 100% in support of.
Then when they arrive, if that message somehow mentioned being rewarded for consumption habits rather than telling them to spend money, the content shared externally viewed by outsiders would then have a far greater chance of attracting a new member.
That's how you align the planets...
That's actually a great point, that message doesn't really say the whole truth about our ecosystem. cc @jarvie, @asgarth
Could that be edited possibly?
It's way off. Like I've said a million times, if a consumer does decide to support content, they do that transferring money from their bank account to their HIVE account, and can then support consistently WITHOUT 'spending' money. They actually earn to support it. Consumers staking HIVE creates consistent demand for the token, detached from crypto market trends, and contributes to furthering decentralization efforts. No more evil bear, in a perfect world...
