The Internet of the Poor has a lot to overcome in some very strange ways... I still come across this weird "bias" that people are SO CONDITIONED to their online experience being one of being "used" that when I talk about something like Hive, their default go-to is that "it must be a SCAM" because I am the one who gets paid, as opposed to they have to pay for the experience.
If you think about it, it's actually odd because lots of people monetize their YouTube channels and other venues... but somehow that's "more legit" because there's a central intermediary who makes money off even the monetized.
Even when I present Hive as "You can share content and in return you own STAKE in the platform," it is eyed with some suspicion because there's not a single "they" handing out stake.
The human psyche is a very strange thing...

Yes, this is definitely part of it. They have also "drunk the coolaid" of the idea of the "free internet" without recognizing the costs they pay for it.
The "masster'sss favoritessssses" - masssster knowsss best.
Yeah. "where does the value come from" is something they can't wrap their head around, as they are accustomed to it coming from the "top".
And interesting!
