Spot on mate! This is so true. Look at the FB model they extended their reach and bought out competitors i.e. Insta, Snapchat, Twitter. To ensure they captured the whole market audience.
Not everyone wants to blog or write, some want different things. In order to capture the market you need to grow it's use.
In order to grow Hive we need to grow the communities.
Lol Facebook bought Twitter?
You overdosed on preworkout there Jack.
Also your example is about capturing market SHARE (potential profits) not audience. It's not like people are only allowed to use one social media platform. The userbase that Facebook exploits likely tweet too.
HIVE is just too basic as a platform to attract diverse communities though. The tools here for the social experience are absent so there's just no reason why established communities on the regular platforms would jump onto Hive. The whole experience here is primarily for crypto enthusiasts.. and money hungry fools who work their assess off for chum change.
It's a sad state what this 'COMMUNITY STICKS IT TO JUSTIN SUN' became. It had amazing Hype when they did that but folks here running things (on this allegedly decentralised revolution) have no clue how to capitalise or really develop Hive as a superior product/platform to steemit. So the thing went stale. I'm sure the penny dropped now that the token can't get momentum during a confirmed bull run.
If Hive is ever to become anything significant it's years away. Or it might actually be celebrating its first year into its slow death in a few months. Either way 2021 matters immensely.
Leadership here is nonexistent.
A few talented individuals. The rest are charlatans. The tiny loyal community that remains is then the poor souls that believe their bullshit. Which one are you. Do you believe your own bullshit? If so become a charlatan like the author of this video.
Milking a dead horse might leave a bad taste in your mouth though. Melbournians are better than that true.
Steem is just as dead, it's main flow was to witnesses and I felt very little went to content creators. It's interface hasn't changed. It is the same platform as when it started.
Trons integration hasn't seen much change if any. It didn't even support the Tron coin to rise.
I think it will be a long time away before either "blow up" but Hive has already started to grow communities. Look at Leo. It is emerging quite nicely.
