I'm confident the last push with idiotic downvotes cost this place potentially tens of millions; might even extend to billions over the next few decades. Fractured the art scene, the base layer of talent left, then the NFT thing happened. So instead of having a vibrant arts and entertainment scene here and on twitter talking about this place, familiar with crypto and all the intricacies, they were off someplace else. Some of those same people who were here did well elsewhere, and are still doing well, and are still attracting more to that destination. Won't even mention this place. Well I called it out that time, I explained why it's stupid to push away the stuff that attracts consumers, and explained how that attention spills over onto everything else. It snowballed, just as I thought it always would, but somewhere else, because the ignorant wanted to displace a few bucks.
So here we go again. Shoot yourself in the foot, round two.
I had written a longy but you know it all already.
I hear ya bud and I agree.
It'll be interesting to see that conspiracy crowd step up to the plate on this one. Hint: they won't
Lol, indeed they wont!
I dont think I have ever seen the video for this. The song takes me back tho!
If it gets really bad to the point where tons of new and old accounts are going silent again, I have a really funny plan to get some truth around here.
And how can you not like that song.
Sounds intriguing! I think some will leave. Some dafties like me will just consider it the posting tax until it narks me so much that I just don't bother. Its pretty much why I stopped powering up ages ago. You cant say anything tho, the same old nonsense gets thrown at you if you do and then there is a pile on
It is a quality one indeed!
Makes sense. I said this place lost an investor directly to him once the bullying kicked in. Didn't buy fuck all since, but had plans to sit around 250k HP here and could have easily pulled it off. I don't like being fucked with and I stay true to my word. I came here for big business, but damn. Have a look at my recent comments under klye. For years I'm struggling to even get a BASIC business model across to people. There are no consumers here and people literally can't see why you even need them. "No no I just need to twist this dial and turn that knob, put this there and that here, plug this in, don't even know what that does, and START. Okay. Hive should be good now."
I will take a look but yeah. The place has always struggled with consumers. The first thing that people instantly think is, how do I get the free money and start sharing content. Then the expectation is that the magic money will just start flying in.
When I was in my first year of this lark I remember being horrified by auto voters and the lack of comments. It nearly made me leave!
