This consumer class I'm talking about, which we currently neglect (everyone signs on and wants to get rich, then quits, not realizing they could stick around to consume, earn rewards that way, for something they're good at naturally), they would fit in well posting "shit" and not caring about earning 'the big bucks'. There's room for both 'shit posts' and the greatest thing you ever seen and someone straight up worked hard on in order to earn. There's no culture here that knows about that consumer role, where they have no intention of ever being a content creator. That class is what makes up majority Youtube accounts for instance. You see them having fun in the comments all day long. That's the content they create. People here for the longest time go without comments under their posts. Why? We failed to develop a consumer class. The market the place 'create content, get paid' so people show up, look around, and try to be a content creator. Or complain that their social media like selfie post and status update only earned 20 cents. Who the hell is going to buy a selfie? Or who the hell is going to buy a tweet? But earning 20 cents for something akin to a tweet is pretty cool if you ask me. And people need to know that's okay. Just chill out. Enjoy the content. Talk about it. Talk to each other. Earn a comment upvote from someone like me. Even a ten cent vote is more than all Youtube consumers earned all year. I offer a better deal than the biggest platform on the planet. LOL.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
If they came here for the rewards I assume they see nothing outside that...And I can't blame them.
Not to even mention that you need to be careful around this place not to get fucked by someone who has a bigger stake. All these small things are obviously preventing #Hive from becoming a fucking giant. Most things around here are artificial, the fear of retaliation is way too big.
Don't know man, we need something to boost the fun - even if you don't get rewarded for "contribution".
I don't subscribe to that big people small people mentality.
I tried. Others have as well. We don't need to build a new platform to cater to every need. Just make a decision. This is getting ridiculous. All the people here have freedom to use the platform as they see fit. There's no one way. Apparently people have trouble navigating freedom. They need tutorials and guidelines. They need someone in charge to show them the way. They need prompts. If people want a place that's fun, go have fun. You talk like that and try to instill fear in people, sure, it's going to be a shitty place. People need to take some responsibility here for their own shit. That would help a lot, too. Just do your thing. I don't see what the problem is, aside from this disturbing lack of interest in attracting consumers. That part is fucking eerie.
And you sound like I should force myself to have fun when there's no fun around
What do you like to do for fun?
