I'd welcome them with open arms, but over time I feel it wouldn't be enough if all they did was just cross-post and nothing else on Hive, the rewards/support would have to dwindle a bit by then. Unless they were also active in different ways.
I'm curious about the community's attitude towards such accounts. Whether the appearance of such accounts will cause interest and goodwill or on the contrary to defensive actions.
I think most welcome them, depending on their content, the only thing I personally don't like that I've seen before is some larger accounts constantly and consistently supporting them with a big share of the rewardpool even if all they did was just cross-post and nothing else.
Yes, the system has both advantages and disadvantages. Honestly, I find information in Hive every day that surprises me. But Hive is a reflection of society, with all its good and bad sides.
There's been some of those cases where I've personally attempted to lower the rewards a little with downvotes as I deemed it overrewarded, that often caused some controversy as they got "active" when the downvotes appeared but expected infinite rewards even tho their content...
barely received any proof that it was being consumed since close to 0 engagement occurred nor any views existed on the platforms that showed views (peakd,3speak). If these cross-posters who are more known outside want the rewards to carry on they gotta do a bit more for hive imo
There's a @coingecko account, but they're not posting. The audience here is too small to be really interesting.
Thank you, how many active users do you think there are on the platform, in general across all platforms, social users?
It may be a few thousand compared to millions on other platforms. There's a couple of million accounts, but most are inactive.
I'm just now doing a draft for an article on types of potential users and possible engagement options. Perhaps you've come across similar developments in already published articles on the platform?
I'm sure there's others talking about this. I'm no marketing expert and just post my thoughts. I want to see more musicians and their fans here.
Musicians are good, photographers are good, creativity in general is good, but without a large influx of regular people it will be difficult. The system either evolves or collapses.
I would say why not, a journalist's account might not do any good, if they are not politicized, it would make the site known
