You’ve touched on an excellent topic. I’ve thought about this before as well. I’ve seen firsthand how, in 2021, hundreds or even thousands of Telegram and YouTube channels with so-called "expert" traders were created. People flocked to them like moths to a flame and burned out along with these "experts." Maybe it’s not the best comparison, but it’s what comes to mind when considering trends and the moods of the masses.
What I mean is that if you keep adapting to every trend and niche that appears and fades, you become dependent on those moods—whether it’s the trend itself, the crowd’s opinion, or the curator’s preferences. In doing so, you lose yourself, your uniqueness, and deprive the world of the diversity you could bring by pursuing something you genuinely enjoy and find fulfilling.
To me, it’s more interesting to create a trend or stick to your own path. If it’s useful, followers will come naturally. And under the right circumstances, you might even start a new trend or open a new niche, being there at its inception. Something like that. 😊
Adapting to existing niches is the easy option, but creating new niches is much more effective.
Well I think there are people whose niche is to jump on the latest and the most profitable niche on Hive and so far it has paid them. On other web2 platforms it might not result in any good results for them. On Hive when you can do it well then it'll work out. It mostly works out for those who master it. I think I have stuck to what I can or know how to do.
It’s impossible to disagree with this—being able, knowing, and I would also add—it should bring enjoyment.
