You're not alone. I tried using it for years only to gain zero followers. That can't be a coincidence. The only reason I check it now is to see what Elon has to say. I really wish he'd stop messing with it and just join us here on Hive. Maybe his X will be cool though.
Don't even need twitter to hear about Elon tweets. It is kind of weird though someone would spend 40 billion to have 'free' speech. Dude could spend that much on a hologram the size of the moon except it's his face and he talks all day.
It's not the tech or free speech he's buying. He's buying a market or, community, comprised of millions of people. That's most likely why he wants to know if those are people or bot accounts. People are worth more. Bots are a ripoff.
This is another thing where POSH could help hive users kickstart their twitter presence, cause now you can see who is registered with the badge and follow those you already follow on Hive or who are following you here and build on your followers. A little activity on top such as retweeting their shares and liking them and you may gain more followers on Twitter that way to eventually also reach people outside of Hive which is the main goal.
People seem to be enjoying this service. I'm not seeing much sharing to twitter when it comes to unique arts and entertainment though. Of course that's somewhat of a rarity here these days, yet it stands a better chance of going viral, if it's good. Wrote about that once. Offering incentives is a step in the right direction for sure. Still a bit weird the 'share to social media' buttons are hidden on Peakd but that's a story for another day.
Nothing wrong with sharing your own stuff outside, especially if you have eyes out there to see it, and then maybe those people will share it.
Sharing is far more effective when people share the work of others though. Potential market grows with each share.
Of course these days the attention span is short combined with a metric shit-ton of content to scroll through. That much choice combined with so little time spent means a lot falls through the cracks.
I think the easiest way for something like an artist to go viral these days is just to say something stupid designed to piss off the political crowd, and get "cancelled". Or combine some art with telling them what they want to hear, could work... chuckle
We actually do incentivize sharing of others posts more in some ways, for instance if the poshtoken comment has your twitter share in it and you upvote it yourself, those hive rewards will go to the hive.fund, so you're better off hoping others will upvote it to reward you for your share, something which the original authors often may do to incentivize more sharing of their posts.
You can also consider the upvote on the poshtoken comments as a small "reward pool", say if I give the comment on this post now a big vote, others could notice it and be like "hey if I share this on Twitter I can participate in getting some of those rewards".
Another cool thing is that you can also share old posts past payout as long as you haven't already shared it once before.
Isn't it cool how my ramblings about nothing can trigger so many moments of clarity.
Maybe I should be on Twitter...
For me my position (before POSH efforts especially) was if a consumer was wise enough to stake HIVE in order to qualify for benefits, they earn by sharing if they also vote then receive curation(consumer) reward. The 'share to twitter' button, when pressed, would have functioned the same way as the vote button plus sharing to twitter.
A frontend could have that up and running in a matter of days. Then there's yet another reason to stake and hold HIVE. These second layer options work fine as well. Fun watching you folks find creative ways to achieve these goals.
I also like how the tweets show up in the comment feed (hated that at first but now I can see important stats in real time which is a good thing) but I will remind everyone how much of a disaster that'll be if a post actually does go viral. That comment would be a neverending scroll. I suggest planning for that. Reach a certain amount and the tweet post could shrink in size, for instance. So you'd have thousands of smaller thumbnails, maybe. I'm just thinking out of my ass right now.
Still. Keep it up. Running a tight ship. Good to see.
Yeah, I guess that'd be a good problem to run into in the future, maybe it would just stop embedding tweets after a certain amount and only list all the hive usernames instead.
Can you believe that the initial idea for POSH was to help Steemit when the bear market hit and they set up their adrevenue on the website to receive more ad traffic? What a wonderful segway into instead helping Hive get a lot more traffic, but goes to say that once/if other platforms do implement non-intrusive opt in ads they may share with authors and consumers, that posh could have a nice role in that as well.
The collaborative efforts of Justclickindiva and DeannDMatthews might get some attention - the art and stories focus on aliens, which is always popular :) ...

You're not alone. And what I mean by that is, I'm totally assed out of the Posh thing too.
We should start a support group for people like us. Tokenize it and reward each other.
Hello, I'm Not1mportant, I've never been to Twitter.
Hi Not1mportent!
Not like I was using it before the posh initiative to be honest. :D

I rarely use Twitter myself, but if it'll help Hive I'll try to remember to share my next fractal art post there...
