Yeah I know that for years the conversations on the theme have been going around and there were some tries to make it easier.
But we can't also keep thinking about mass adoption until we solve that problem.
And if we want to achieve a different audience, that needs to be solved sooner than later. Otherwise we will only keep getting a hand full of people joining in and staying. Those that are already into crypto and decentralised platforms.
But I am guess that many that are looking for alternatives to mainstream platforms, they are not looking for those reasons. Since they don't have the knowledge. They might be looking for another place with a chance to grow an audience and make an income out of it. Since many of the other programs in mainstream platforms, with all the algorithms, are destroying visibility for everyone.
I think the idea of mass adoption is foolish. It is the wrong starting point.
The focus should be on the 1,000 owners who are here and truly take account for what is going on. With Leo, it is probably 300. That is where we start the process.
Alas, after 6 or 7 years, it is still "we need to market Hive to get more people on here". People from Hive post 10000 tweets and comments per day yet most put nothing on chain.
Pure foolishness.
I have tried to tag that HIVE flag out of the platform to the mainstream. Sharing my content and other content there. Never very successfully. Since the content I was creating was not at all related with HIVE or decentralised platforms. So the content was reaching an audience that was not at all interested in consuming my type of content on another platform tha they didn't even understand!
We seem to think others know, or even care, about this. They do not. Their interest is zero. That is why scouring X looking for users fails. People are not going to come over in droves from X to use threads. Even if they do, it will only to scrape rewards which they sell.
Facts. Because no one uses the social apps we have here. Actually like any other social apps. So for those that come from the outside, they can't find "normal posts" that they can enjoy. Hopefully inleo will change that
Well the engagement is different so it helps with interaction. This is where X is still a microblogging platform even though it now has long form.
We need to add both on here but the micoblogging is something anyone can do. It takes no talent to do that.
And I love that. I am talentless as they can get LOL :D That's why I love me some microblogging ehehhe
Writing a blog post is much different. Although most can do it, it does take a lot more.
Writing 25 threads is much easier.
