Alrighty. I listened to it all. Very interesting, I did not know you are into comics too, lovely. I am sure that freelance work now is hard for everybody as Chris mentioned. I like some of the ideas you talked about, connected with helping newbies, creating collections, incentivizing people to be good etc. I also admired the courage it took to loan money to buy steem and then still stay strong after it all burned down in flames. I think learning comes with experience. I also believe in the simulation/visualisation theory. I do believe that if you want it and imagine it, you bring it into your life. 9k daily users on Hive... That is a promicing number for the start.
What I found interesting is the idea of finding people to empower other people. I do agree that Hive needs more people next to investors. I think that we need people with a strong will. It will not matter how many people you help buying their own latte with crypto money, if they don't have an inner fire to inspire them, they won't commit long term. Here, I believe, is where progress can happen. We need leaders in communities. Great content is lost and new stuff comes up. A feature page, a top page with best content of all times, some sort of archiving the absolute best would be very beneficial. A sort of a top 10 leaders of content in any community. Or top 50 best artworks, photos, videos etc. Maybe even the possibility to have included in the Hive itself the possibility of instant chat with a member/leader of a community without having necessarily a discord. More mass appeal. Great content, visually inspiring, attracts. One person who can empower millions... Chris's (@midlet)words really hit the point on this one. A community is build with people. Hive is different because it brings a human factor next to the concept of social platform. This is an unique quality, with good potential. If great leaders in their communities can inspire through their content and their content is brough up in front, for random Joe to see and be in awe, then slowly people will come. Hive has it all to make it, it needs a sprinkle of mass appeal.
I also rarely post on IG, just like you, after discovering Hive, I no longer see the purpose on being on any other platform than this.
Great podcast! Thanks!
