How do we get more valuable users to Hive?
I think the platform needs a more robust network for onboarding new users, and supporting them to retain them. The user count/activity seems to be going down.

We need to have something to offer that keeps people here once they are onboarded. That has always been our biggest problem. We either grow slow with what we have or figure out what the masses want.
You are right - and am worried about retention. On the one hand, we need to have a good engagement network so that most posts or threads do not end up with zero. On the other hand, if it will be possible to have a good rewards support structure at least for the first month or so, then a combination of these might boost retention.
Short term yes, but in the long run it will not help with regards to rewards. To have excellent engagement we need to offer what people want to see. We have to decide if we want to appeal to the masses that don't want to see a lot of the highly informative, educational stuff. 99 percent of social media users want crap and to retain we need to give crap. IMHO
Seems like an honest truth here. Crap is value to a lot of people, Builders and owners of web2 social media allow so much crap because its more valuable than 1500-word long articles. Oh, and someone needs to understand that its a world of short-attention span people. Fast and short is better.
absolutely
Ya
We have to increase our engagement by those who are already here.
We have to build something that people want to engage with. There is still the major issue that when people show up, there is very little here.
For example, show up on threads and where do you go to get your news? X or something else.
I believe it is a human nature issue. The 1 percent versus the 99 percent. Most people on Hive fall into the 1 percent range. To get the other 99 percent here, forgive me for saying this, but we need to dumb things down. As it adding more useless stuff to Hive. That is why I do memes. You just need to look at the shit people get on with on other SM platforms.
That could be true although I might take exception of those on Hive being the 1%.
To me, it seems that a few are but most operate the same as everywhere else.
And yes, the amount of content is what is important, since that is what people latch onto. Memes are ideal.
Well you and me are ;)
Sure. I think for one thing, our UI needs to be better than what is in web 2. Then, maybe some engaging content that brings value is important to hold new users attention. Yes I like the idea of being a news spot, but we can do much more. for example, not everyone would be here for long if its just news stuff. So a variety of attention-grabbing activity is important.
And we can always talk about engagement and making this place buzz. Seems to be too cold often.
I think most new users want to earn huge money at the beginning time and that's the problem. I believe that we need those users who have patience and dedication.
Then there is a problem with the message passed to them by those doing the onboarding. I usually ask these two questions to drive home the point that this is not a get-rich-quick-scheme
I only support new users that do not put the money first
Developers, hive needs to understand it needs more applications built on top of it besides a blogging platform that generates zero revenue if it wants to grow in dollar value.
Sure. That is so much Value. I feel that builders are not finding Hive attractive and thats a big problem. Hive has far fewer DAPPs. Other blockchains seems to be supporting all these interesting stuffs built there. For example, tap-to-earn is growing fast. We need to make here appealing to developers.
That should be passively done, the more actively you push for it, the more synthetic it becomes, and might be flooded with spam and cringe content.....We need production by maases, not mass production by a few.
