is simple fix, People first, rewards second.
Hive can add another layer of revenue easy with advertisements ( but not wanted now).
Value is eyeballs. So in theory its possible to reduce rewards massive. So the core is not about to earn, is freedom to post what you want.
This can scale.
btw i recommend to you as a big holder and curator check out from time to time a new account. See how much fun it is. This is what matters.
1000x more users should be the goal, for this less power need to be in the hands of few ( not the voting, only the social media part). Imagine Boomers would use the chain, they would upvote family members or the most retarded shit you have ever seen, but they need to be free to do it.
More hands = currency has value. Less hands = currency is bullshit.
yeah... I used to do this quite regularly in the past because I figured people would just follow the motivation. And also because the first experience is all that matters. Then from there, people retain a lot more time on a platform even if they don't commonly find the same initial experience.
So my point is, the initial experience has to be UAU! and that will basically do most of the job on influencing people to try and keep learning about it (which is the hardest part to scale in my view).
I think the hardest part is the content rules ( since all platforms have a learning curve). It should be the same as other social media.
Upvote = like to many users. So if you write " yo bro" i like it so you see i did read it.
Same for memes. Thats IMO a problem.
That's why the first impression is too important. Then afterwards, people will be more prone to give it more tries. Even if not the "comments" get upvoted, people know it needs to capture others' attention for it to happen.
I have totally verified this with Hivefest... first impression is ultimate. And in real life, too.
People don't try Hive not because they don't like Hive... it's because they don't know about it or have any relationship with it. So, they prioritise other experiences...
If the experience is UAU.... then it becomes a movement... trends, and everyone will check at all costs.
I do this through other accounts through ocd and lovesniper, we even created @love-scout recently to check out new accounts.
Unless you meant me creating a new account to see what it's like pretending to be a newbie.
yeah,check it out. Cosplay a bit around, thats imo a good way to explore user experience first hand
I barely have time as it is curr3ntly but yeh maybe some day
