Great points in the video. It can definitely be like a sowing seeds sort of thing. Supporting new/small accounts that grow over time and eventually turn into large accounts and supporting each other along the way.
Hive is sort of a mystery how people get together. I agree with that for sure. I think there is a definiye network effect - networking works.
It's been fun watching and helping some smaller accounts grow. I've gotten really lucky and brought up a few of them over the past few years! They've all turned out into really great users on here. Some have dropped off for one reason or another but a bunch have stayed which is great!
That's awesome. Yeah it's inevitable that some people will disappear after a time. Sometimes they come back after years of being away though. Haha
It really has. I've found a few people who didn't think they had much of anything creative to offer early on and were about to give up. I gave them some advice and I've noticed they've become some of the most consistent and awesome creators that I know of. One small thing could lead to a lifetime of commitment.
The seed comparison is a good point. If you plant a crop and then forget to tend to it, it's not going to end well. However, if you take care of it daily and make sure it gets the water and sunshine that it needs and isn't harmed by pests, then you have a much higher chance to reap rewards. Even then though, maybe there is a draught and things go to shit. Giving up is an option, but I think it would be a foolish choice.
Yeah that so true. All of it.
Giving up would definitely be foolish. Who knows where Hive will be in the future.
