I think they are trying to fix that. Hopefully it isn't a case of too little too late. I can see what you are saying about dedicated communities though. We have a whiskey/whisky community on Hive that you would think should be bumping, but hardly anyone ever posts in there. No token associated with it, so maybe that is the issue. Who knows.

Also a dedicated front end is vital...like Cowboytalk.io or something.
Whiskeytalk.io
Doesnt have the same impact in my mind.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I was going to scrape up the BEE to make the token, but then I realized without a front end, what is the point. It would definitely be Whiskeybusiness.io by the way. :)

I would even support it without being a whiskey buff. It is a great idea so it is worthy of pursuit.

Thanks. Like I said, we have the community, @steevc created it. Maybe it is something that won't come to fruition until those 100k users come to hive. I think a bbq community would be great too.
I think the lack of token has something to do with it. Also, in these early stages, that might be too niche. It is hard to get a growing community with something that isnt that big. How many people talk about and discuss whiskey?
Compare that with the number of blogs about the Cowboys and how people call into talk radio. There are millions of fans of that team.
That would be a great target market.
Going niche is great, just has to be a big enough niche to generate appeal.

You'd actually be surprised. The Reddit Whiskey sub has over 200k subscribers. The bourbon one as well. There is likely some crossover there. Scotch has over 150k subscribers. Bourbon is big money right now which is why I am a bit disappointed.

I am sure it is. However, being a part of a reddit group doesnt mean much is commented upon. We know that Reddit doesnt have a huge engagement percentage.
I am not saying it cant excel, it is just very niche. That is why I think a token and its own frontend might do well.

There are some subs that do get a lot of comments. I think it just depends on the group. How hard is it to spin up a frontend? I might do some probing in Discord.
