You're using the same stick most do when it comes to downvotes, "oh I was going to bring in so much traffic/users/money" if only it wasn't for those darn downvotes
Uh, not in my mind - in the slightest. The reality is that to the outside world, they have zero reason to come here unless they are able to see unique selling points. The main unique selling point is 'Hive offers a new way to be social where you don't have bosses and middle men pushing you around'.. Then they get here without actually knowing how the incredibly complex and totally undocumented algorithms really work and just see a mirror image of the rest of the world, where some people have the power to push them around and punish them for breaking rules they never saw or agreed to. lol. Surely you must accept that this is an accurate description of the experience of a large number of people who come here?! Maybe we live on different planets.
I literally am oriented to bringing some of the many Doctors and other experts who have been totally cancelled by silicon valley on here - e.g. Dr. Naomi Wolfe, who you can see me communicating with on Twitter and inviting here. What is demotivating me is not the 'loss of money' from downvotes, it's the petty mentality that has been cultivated here behind what goes along with it...
Ohh... you might possibly have posted this video before several years ago.. I'm telling Daddy.. for fuck's sake - grow up people. I literally just watched videos of 10 men's heads exploded with shrapnel in Ukraine - haven't you got anything more significant to participate in and add to life??
As far as bringing people here goes, I have virtually no interest in 99% of 'influencers' online - they are mostly vapid and moronic people. I am aiming to bring in people who are intelligent and legitimate thought leaders who have been rudely awakened by their own censorship during COVID - that they are facing an existential threat due to the wrong people having been trusted with too much power. Again, if you read Musk's tweets in the last few months - you'll see he agrees 100% with what I'm saying. He has publicly said that blockchain powered social media won't work because it won't scale.. I don't necessarily trust him either and he may just be saying that to distract away from competition.. However, you can be sure that he is fully intending to evolve Twitter to be attractive to Hive's key target demographics in particular. He is also monetising Twitter so that users get ad revenue in the next few weeks.
