I don't drink beer, or coffee, but I think it would be fun to have either one of these with you, on the basis of you not wanting to say further things, but I can read between the lines. I can write between them, too, sometimes.
My complaint was more sarcasm than serious - I like words a lot, but too, I like photos, I'm sure you've seen mine around the place, haven't posted any for a while, as I've been busy focusing on words and planning two exhibitions that both happen within the next month!
The thing about hive is that for all of its shortcomings, and for all the things that we can improve, the desire to improve it (and to attract a higher quality of user) is one which is constant and strong in certain people.
The underlying issue is that people like myself (who I think is a smart person - even if I refer to myself here in the third person) - have delusions that hive can be better, faster, more robust, and filled with clones of people like me who understand that the value comes from content, and that I should be OVERJOYED to need to "compete" with others for the reward pool, because if curators are given a wide range of content, and critically assess that which they vote for, they will see a wider range of stuff on chain.
But I suppose the weakness is that curators get rewarded whether they upvote good content or not. :P
We agree to disagree here, unfortunately. Those certain people are just a handful, because the vast majority of the onboarding attempt is made in countries where a dollar a day can give you a meal or two, not to mention those who are potentially interested, are coming to get the money for that meal, not to create high quality content. When the strongest argument to onboard new users is you can make money, then you know what the outcome is.
They also need spoon feeding when it comes to figuring out what Hive is or how it works and even so, it's difficult for them to understand due to limited literacy. The rest is for that conversation during a coffee or a beer (I also don't drink either of them btw).
That is correct 😎
