RE: Lack of engagement is hampering Hive adoption

in #hive4 years ago

If it were all just automated then what's the point of putting effort into posts? I would like to see Hive reach the respect that sites like Medium have, but everyone should have the chance to be seen. There is that pressure to keep posting regardless to keep the rewards coming in.

Sort:  

Exactly... there's a special feeling that comes with even a handful of regular followers that comment on your post. There are a lot of quality content out there on hive that dies unseen.
Another big problem is the fact that after the 7-day post time frame, a post literally dies, basically because rewards can no longer come in I suppose. Even some authors might not reply comments once their post is past seven days. The reward system unconsciously makes us "kill-off" old posts.

I believe though that with more popularity for hive, old posts will start to get revisited. On Quora for instance, most of the posts I even read are posts that are years old. Hive I think should be more Quora-like and less Instagram-like (short term post engagement that dies off in a couple of days)
