It's frowned upon I guess, like what's the catch?
I think this has been a major problem for years.. And I think it's an issue due to how people are pitching Hive. I mean, this is not a place for free money. It's a place for people to earn something for their contributions, and the earnings are in crypto.
I think we have to tell people in steps:
- You have a chance of earning something from your content.
- You earn crypto which you can exchange to FIAT.
- You can cash out/withdraw the FIAT you have.
If people wonder why "someone wants to give them free crypto" after that, I think it's wise to tell them that we have a decentralized platform that distributes tokens etc.
I think we've been pitching Hive incorrect from the start by starting off with "we are decentralized, you own your content, come here and earn!"

There's a lot to say for Hive, but yeah pitching the free or easy money idea is not really working, I try to explain the basics of crypto and what it means for ownership (compare Splinterlands with magic or pokemon cards for example) and what the blockchain means etc.
Also not trying to push anyone, I just tell some about it and let them ask questions or see if they're interested after that instead of shoving it in their face.
