Shilling Hive On YouTube
Occasionally I go on a Hive shilling spree. I shill Hive in real life and on the internet, lol. Crypto people just put me down as a “fanboi” and laugh at me. I keep telling them that Hive is “the greatest blockchain that nobody’s heard of”.
Here in this video I published on Saturday I tried to go through some of the key features of Hive in a totally non-geeky way, highlighting utility based platforms and income via rewards. People respond to money, so that’s always a way to go.
It’s amazing to me how easily I can talk about Hive because I’ve been on it for so long. This video was recorded on the fly with zero preparation and zero scripting. I can just fire up my camera and talk for hours about Hive. I had to actively stop myself from going on too long in fear of putting people to sleep.
The overall message is somewhat sad though, I have to say. It seems like we’ve been talking about the “potential” of Hive since forever and we just never achieved the mass adoption. I also realised how many daps have actually departed the platform over the years. Appics, for instance, was an amazing platform that just ran out of patience and went their own way. I still use Appics, albeit seldomly, and it’s chugging on just fine. The token price is in the gutter, but that doesn’t seem to bother the people on there who just use it like Instagram. Heck, nobody’s getting paid anything on Instagram anyway - not unless you’re some kind of influencer that gets brand deals or sales through the platform.
I sometimes wonder if the glory days of Hive will ever return. There are spinoffs that have done very well, like Splinterlands for instance, but Hive itself seems to have settled into the role of a L1 (or even L0), serving as infrastructure for other platforms.
Peace & Love,
Adé
Can you share with us the traffic sources for the video once it has had a bit more time to sit out there? If al the views and traffic comes from hive, the video is simply preaching to the choir. If they come from other sources, that's obviously going to be much more valuable.
LOL, that't true. Most of my subs have never heard of Hive. I'd say 90% of the views come from outside Hive actually.
Sensational, you explained every detail masterfully! Congratulations on the video!
LOL. Thanks, I did my best :)
We've seen so many projects come and go. I know some had issues with the whales, but anyone should be able to build here. We need apps and users, but have been losing both. I'll stick around anyway.
Going down with this ship haha
46,590 people are now getting everything downvoted to zero on Day 7. No reason. No explanation. Hive looks like a scam now.
Never heard of Appics before but Splinterlands certainly pushed Hive forward. Unfortunately they lost their drive during the bear market and are struggling now with a lot of Web3 gaming competition.
That's surprising. They were quite a major dapp in Steemit days. Shame that they're struggling. I had no idea
@tipu curate, sorry I can't leave a lot more comment, not feeling well, but I watched the video

Hive is terrible now. Most people get everything downvoted to zero on day 7. No reason. No explanation.
