How would anyone know if content is unique on Hive? I've upvoted this post because I enjoyed reading it and you seem like a Ripper Rita/You Beauty, but I'm not sure I'm interested in searching for your text at other locations because that seems like a lot of work.
So this post has earned Hive because it was valuable to me - and I have no idea if it was printed elsewhere, or even if it was printed elsewhere first...
You aren't likely interested in it being on Hive only, but over time, you would likely pay more attention to this, especially if the content was obviously elsewhere and in the comments section there would be people pointing it out and downvotes from those who do care. There is also increasing automation that finds duplicates too, which will likely get better and automate further.
But then, you have to also think about how you found this content, which is because you follow me. But, how and why did you end up following me in the first place? It has been a while, but most likely it was because other people "suggested" (in various ways) back in the day that I was worth a follow and they did so because I produce original content daily that isn't found anywhere else. You keep dropping by because you have found it valuable too (in some way), which drives the loop.
All of these little random things add up and when they are consistently adding up, there is that continuity and familiarity, as well as the relationships built that extends past an individual piece of content and into the relationship sectors. It really does become a community that was connected through individual pieces of content, but extends into sharing parts of lives.
Content generally gets consumed once by an individual, but relationships cover many pieces of content and work to create more individual pieces to add into the stream.
Hmm, those are all really good points. I keep dropping back in because what you write is decent and thoughtful, but also because there's a good chance you'll see my comment and maybe even reply... which is something that people won't do if they drop their content in multiple places. If someone replies days later, well, I've mentally completely moved on.
So you're right... I won't know that content is unique to Hive by checking myself, but there are plenty of other clues (like number of comments and speed to replies) that do indicate the author is highly focused on Hive.
Also... you can't rewrite history... I'm following you because your brother said he'd shoot me if I didn't. Don't pretend it's because you're a good writer, it was a fear-based follow.
Fear-based follows is what I have been targeting, but I wanted to be the feared one....
Hahaha, well, to be honest, I'm way more scared of small childs than dudes with guns... but you've never threatened to throw a kid at me so here we are.
Totally agree with you on the point of @tarazkp actively engaging with the comments, that's kind of the reason why I follow him.
While the content is interesting and makes a good read, but if there is no active user engagement, readers slowly stop showing up.
Will this do for a comment? ;D
I would downvote the comment if I wasn't worried about getting kicked out of our alliance guild :p
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
I can't....like most of the cult of tarazkp, I am a fear based follower....
