Hardly anyone here would pay out of their pocket for the content here.
If I bought some Hive, powered it up, in order to support content. That's coming out of my pocket. That's literally how we support content here and is a much better deal to the consumer than simply buying tokens and tipping. All of the Tribe tokens are the same way. If I'm buying 1000 STEM to support content in that community, that's coming out of my pocket. It's a good deal since I'd get a return, but it still comes at a cost, to me, or anyone else who wants to support content in that fashion. It's a great deal to the consumer since if they decide it's not for them, they can come out with some, or even more of their money back. The consumer and their disposable income is HOW you convert content into a rising token value. That part about attracting investors that seems to fly over your heads for the past five years was just explained in a few sentences. It still won't click.
The artwork/entertainment. People, as we speak, are supporting artists on NFT Showroom.
All over the internet people are supporting content. I feel it's wise to attract at least some of that money here to Hive. Even a small percentage would outpace inflation. Nobody will buy a link though. Consumers need a reason to spend money. If that lead links to an instance of actual content a consumer wants to support, we've effectively paid someone to direct potential profits elsewhere. That is the opposite of doing business. Twitter is a far better tool for distribution. Posting a link here that leads to an instance of actual content is just like a tweet or a share on Facebook. Why should Hive start spending ridiculous amounts of money just to act like social media distribution tools? There's no way to recoup those costs. It's the instance of actual content that draws the attention and makes the money.
And that thing you said about 3speak was just awkward. You clearly don't understand what I'm talking about. 3speak is part of Hive. If the consumer is going to support that content, it's not at a potential loss to Hive.
People can post links all they want. Monetizing links only doesn't make sense.
This post wasn't about you. It's pointing out how irresponsible this entire industry is becoming. For the most part, I'm not even actively giving a fuck. What could I possibly do to change things? Do you even accept the fact there are plenty of people who milk every platform they come across and that's happening here(preventable), and it's unsustainable?
Personally... I Feel like saying that i identify now as an NFT... So...
Party on 😎🥓🍔🍟
