Keep encouraging them!
I try to encourage them to use the features and engage more on threads but they keep looking for Leo.voter, lol. They are more focused on the upvotes, the immediate financial gains and neglect building for the long term.
I think the thing is that it's not even people who do what you're describing. That's a small minority
Many of the people I talked to said that they had been told not to use INLEO (likely by people who are bitter and jealous toward INLEO's innovation)
These people have literally never visited Inleo.io and have no idea what is built here
Then when I showed it to them, they couldn't believe it is "on Hive"
They asked if Threads & Shorts are centralized
They are not, they are built on Hive. That amazed them. I showed them the same permalinks from INLEO as they appear on hive.blog/hivehub.dev and it blew their minds
To change this, we need to keep educating everyone both insiders and outsiders about what we are building here
Wow! That's serious. Now, I remember a comment I came across on a blog post a few months ago, I could notice the bitterness in the tone of the comment, lol. The commenter didn't want to use INLEO front end for the contest in that particular community, so he said he won't participate because the contest encouraged publishing from INLEO.
I wondered and wonder why so much hatred and bitterness for this awesome and successful project.
Anyway, when something is created, it isn't created for everyone, those who it is created for will stick around, build it in order for it to flourish
Sure, we will keep educating people all about INLEO, we need more owners.
What kind of toxic idiots do that type of thing. If there are Whales and Orca like that, it is no surprise HIVE has been in the gutter for all of this time. Our financial metrics are not too far ahead of STEEM.
We need project like @leofinance and @splinterlands to bring us users + features.
