Polls have worked fairly well so far. Last weeks post, just on Peakd had 1000 post views. The engagement is extremely high. Right now on Hive only Splinterlands gets those numbers consistently with their posts.
If only we had offchain accounts on Hive so everyone could vote outside Hive easily. Our previous discord polls still exceed in number of votes those on Hive for that very reason. Its much easier to get into discord than here.
Ultimately the whole point of these polls is to get users outside Hive here and have them involved in some way until theyre ready for more. .
So… The winner of the polls is the one who brings more friends to vote for them, rather than the one who made the best entry? It should be a different prize, a popularity prize, not a prize for being the best talent and having the best presentation.
Yes. The winner of the poll is the one who brings more of their friends, their audience to vote.
And thats the least we can do for musicians to entice them to build an audience. Ofc, that wont win them the weekly prize on its own but it will help them win and help with their music getting out to people.
I am the best singer in the world, none of the greats come even close... Freddy Mercury, Beyonce, Siniša Vuco... when I'm alone in the shower.
No one else there though... Music should be played for an audience. Not just for 2 judges.
Yeah, although offchain things are an "anyone can do job"... and why gets neglected on-chain. Also, because it would involve basically integrating with everything, it creates a bit of a struggle for everyone.
But definitely creating a hive account should be made easy peasy... it could be even an automatic thing that sends the private key to the email. And then drive the person through a more elaborate process (once ready and returning) for changing keys, etc.
At the same time, this might create many stale accounts... and a recycling process should exist... like, accounts with 1 broadcast, could be interpreted as, not yet taken. And perhaps avoid an infinite amount of accounts lost thing.
Food for lunch time thoughts... (for me).
