Also, organizing and participating in Hivefest is more expensive because of its conference side, but many people are really interested in this (including me), as it showcases our progress in various communities and the core of Hive.
I don't mind paying for a ticket for the conferences, but through talking with others, I have realized that it is one of the biggest obstacles for many people... So, you are right about the audience, it's not for everyone and having an option for something different, I suppose that we will see people picking what suits the most for them...
To attract and keep more people, we need to be a magnet, instead of grabbing them by the hand and pulling them in.
Agree with you 100%! That's why I'm a bit skeptical about these campaigns for onboarding people as many times, if they are forces, you get false results (fake accounts, fake engagement, short-term hype, etc.)... We can do many things to help our ecosystem grow, it's not all about the onboarding numbers...
I think it doesn't hurt to try this too. If they like the easy onboarding and the application they get on, a small portion of them might stick around long enough to poke around other areas of the ecosystem. Others may not but could return at a later date if they hear about the platform/application again.
Fake engagement... That would be a problem and I hope it won't happen...
Otherwise I agree, we have so many things we could improve and work on. It's not just one or one direction.
It is already happening, as you said in your post... But I hope that it will not become an even bigger problem... We don't need that...
Ah, I thought you meant something else. 😅
Just an off-topic reminder... Don't forget to give those orders for the Splinterlands brawl... Only a few hours left... :)
And I see this now, lol. Thanks for trying!
