Her content was Facebook style which goes down badly on HIVE.
This is one major ish. People out there are used to web2.0 style and the transition may not come easy.
Since I know how hard it is, I try not to bring anybody to hive without proper orientation.
Me to, I used to be all HIVE.., but gave up long ago.
Smiles... it is quite disappointing when the strength you used to bring someone in and teaching them doesn't show forth. I understand why people give up at a point.
d.buzz is doing alright. They post twitter-esque content into a community and limit post payouts. That seems to be enough to keep the downvoters away. TBH I'm totally fine with a buzz only attracting a few cents and I have a separate account for my short-content for that reason.
