There are millions of consumers/followers on the planet who are happy to 'swipe all day for free'... not one of them gives a f**k about how long content lives. This is not appealing to them, and that is why I am not focused on Hive's blockchain longevity, to do so, would be terrible marketing for consumers/followers.
Well, then you maybe need to revisit social psychology. Because before the internet people built 'books' of photos to share and to keep for longevity, or diaries, or blogs we call today. That still applies today.
Maybe not consumers, but content creators they do care. And they do care to show what they've been producing to their followers. There are a lot of angry youtubers with the 'algorithm' for example.
Content creators do care of what they write/produce/whatever you do. It's who they are, they are artists.
People do give a f**k about what is from them, maybe not so much from others(family and friends yes, that's why people follow other people in the first place :) on social) but from them yes, when we get older we like to see what we've done with our lives and to remember memories or compare how much we've grown and changed. It is a basic human need and a wonderful experience.
The marketing we need to do needs to appeal to this. As you may know the best marketing is the one that appeals to emotions.
Not to say that FREE-SPEECH is the other point on here. Society is becoming everyday more censored, and less things can't be said, we are turning into very sensible creatures, and that shows on the policy on twitter for example.
Joe Rogan is another example.
I recommend you do more research on this topic, you'll be surprised of the amount of things you don't know.
Rule for life: "Accept that with who you talk knows something that you don't."
Have a great day. You are rocking on hive nonetheless.😉
I addressed the free speech issue elsewhere in the comments, @meesterboom & @oblivioncubed seemed to understand my take on it, but I respect that you feel it's worth marketing.
I wrote 15,000 words on free speech here: https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@ryzeonline/freedom-censorship-and-you-the-ultimate-guide-emmas-dilemma-pt-1 -- can you guess how much research it took? Who has done more research on free speech and censorship, you, or me? Food for thought. :)
Follow your own rule ;)
Wishing you a great day too! We're both rocking nonetheless! :) 🙏
If anyone else on this post mentions 'content-creators' to me again, I honestly am not sure what I'll do, lol.
My post mentions consumers 13 times.
My post mentions creators 1 time.
This was a subheading from my post:
Guess which one my entire post is all about? Guess which one this particular suggested marketing is targeted at?
I am extremely wise, smart, and talented. I have decades of experience building businesses, brands. I clearly understand the difference between the two, and how to secure growth in either demographic. I'm fully capable of marketing to creators, as you seem so enthusiastic about, but Hive's entire population is predominantly creators. They are not needed right now. The creators who are here, need followers, commenters, upvoters. Hive needs consumers. So, that is who I chose to target with my example marketing campaign.
I've written and explained this 1000s of times now, so hopefully it's clear enough, but if not, I'm happy to just agree to disagree. Either way, I thank you for your input and sharing here, and wish you a wonderful day. 🙏
Ok so I disagree, consumers follow good content and good experiences, that's as easy as that. Which means hive doesn't have good content and it's a bad experience overall.
Earning free money just to upvote can't work, unless you power up a good amount of money.
So we need to re-think all this. We need "people" to incentivize it's followers, if you want consumers to earn to consume, which brings us to the start---> good "people" that knows how to engage.
You seem to get what means to engage, since you already have 300 comments 😉 on just this post. See it's not about the consumers, the "people" that makes posts is about, on hive they are greedy mostly, looking to make a few bucks fast and free, without engaging.
If you want more consumers, first you have to reshape the other part of the social😉.
Sounds good man, thanks again! 👍
