Each social network has its own thing, the “hook” as it is called in the media. HIVE, like Twitter, has its retractors. Without judging anyone, I am one of those who coexist on both platforms, because I have friends on one and the other. Those who are content creators – I don't consider myself one – seek to position themselves and make a living or make as much profit as possible. Those who, like me, use social media as a communication, information, and entertainment tool -virtual entertainment-; in particular, I am not interested in attracting the attention of crowds or influencing any of them. I am free and let others be free.
The content should be classified according to the subject, I bet for it, but not to enclose it within a community or sect that implants rules that in a way seeks an order, but they sin judging the contents with silly ideologies, religions, and politics...
If Instagram was made for graphic photographic content, let it follow that path; if Twitter was made for informational, advertising and political messages, let it follow that ideology. The same applies to Facebook, YouTube -only videos-, Liketo -photography-, HIVE repository of all kinds of material that moves a Ratchet-like gear, i.e. cryptocurrency producing mechanism.
Yet you do influence them, even if you do not do it directly. Each like, share, or even you scrolling through and pausing is tracked and utilized to influence behavioral changes in people. Passivity doesn't mean no activity.
Hive is content agnostic, it doesn't matter what it hosts, it is just a ledger. The second layer (which would be equivalent to Twitter, YouTube etc) is what defines the usecase, or content form. @threespeak for video or @splinterlands for some gaming etc - yet, they can all reside together, side by side, each adding value to users and the blockchain.
This is because anyone can argue about the color of something, without having to have a clear understanding of why one is better than the other, or why the other is worse.
