Yeah I hear you on that. Derrick Broze was a guy really pushing and advocating for solutions like Hive but he got similar treatment and said fuck it lol. He specifically called out Hive and it's decentralized nature in one of his big events which was really cool to hear.
I think that means we likely need to figure out a Trump style deal with some content creators - we pay them through the DHF and they bring in a bunch of users that will be buying a little bit of our assets to support their creator. I think it may work best to go the gaming route, and try to find a Korean gamer or something like that since the Koreans have a very strong taste and market for Hive compared to others.
That presents the problem though for many people - I can't read a fucking thing in Korean and their symbols just confuse me. Granted we have AI translation services which are a huge help, but we need other creators from the English variety..
I think one of the best things we've got going may be the use-case for HBD via Sucre in Venezuela and other countries like that. If we start to get businesses themselves to use the assets, and people need to get on here to buy or earn the assets they want to spend, that's a really awesome step in the right direction as well!
If you feel inclined, drop some rants in my rant community :D
You're going off into the land of expenses rather than making money. Paying for promises.
What I was talking about was pretty straightforward and the people interested already spend that money anyway, so this is a better deal to them. They just need to know about it.
And yeah Derrick is another one that doesn't bring attention or money to his own work here. These tools are sitting on the table to be used in this fashion for him as well and he doesn't need permission. All these content creators generating outside interest and attracting money the way I mentioned would be doing it for themselves and supporters, not "The Hive Community."
Every content creator has a door they could open. But instead it stays shut. And the focus is placed on attracting amateurs that need to be reminded plagiarism is bad. WTF?
I agree there are other avenues to explore and you mentioned that. All these options added on can only help.
As for posting rants. If I was to start doing the content creator thing again, which I doubt I will, but if I did, it would be based on my own brand, not Hive stuff. I don't need to get paid to complain.
