So it's been a while since i posted anything on the platform...
An the reason is probably common to many like me. Sense of unfairness, inner circle voting and total disregard to content quality which in turn causes poor quality content creation and last but probably the biggest issue for me, visual CONTENT DISCOVERY. Which is still weird, inefficient and does not help me to find content that i want.
To be honest after posting to Steemit for a few years, being advocate for the new paradigm, starting a startup and implementing steem rewards on my photography platform www.bescouted.com so that content creators could get steem rewards for sharing their artwork (with no support from Steemit Inc whatsoever) and bringing hundreds if not thousands new users to the blockchain, educating them personally i got fed up with unfairness and abandoned the project.
I've even had a chance to meet Ned and some members of his teem for a brief moment at Consensus in NY and it was clear to me the same minute that they do not genuinely care about the community and steem is just get rich fast scheme to them, which became apparent when they sold out to Justin.
I have abandoned steemit to the point that i lost track of the news, new developments like communities and SMT's until yesterday when i saw Hive pop up on Binance (still do some trading here and there). And i've decided to take a look at the new token. And oh Boy was i surprised (and not surprised at all at the same moment). Hard fork!
I am not a developer myself and can't write code, instead i am looking into ways how new paradigms can improve users experience, how they can benefit us, simple people into getting fair share of the pie and how to make the world a better place ( i know i know lol).
So i take my hat off before those guys who took control into their hands and forked into HIVE. I wish them the best of luck and hope that this time it will truly become decentralized, fair and quality driven solution for billions of us out there.
If there is anything i can help with, please guide me how could i do that (i can't write code) or if anyone would look into my attempt to bring back value created on BeScouted back to content creators and would like to work on the project together please let me know.
I hope it's not Justin who's buying all Hive tokens out there but many community members that see great value and the future of decentralised web 3.0
Bets of luck to all devs that undertook that task and responsibility out there!
Welcome back David ! ^_^
Hi, Barbara, thanks a lot! :)
Welcome back @bescouted ! I invite you to participate as a moderator in the community „Model-Agency“ (hive-151070). The idea is to have a community centered around models and photography. unfortunately Appics has not made the move to HIVE yet and the content is rather sparce here. I would therefore give my more than 100 accumulated account tickets to onboard models into this platform. You as a photographer may have the contacts to this audience. We could do regular contests in this community and over time it may serve as a resource for scouting and the like. Would you be interested in that kind of cooperation?
Hi, thank you for your generous offer but i must decline it, since i will not have enough time to perform my duties as moderator and on-boarding effectively. Bets of luck to you though, you are doing great job here!
That is sad, but understandable. Tine is always a precious resource. If you change your mind you are very welcome. I will crosspost your wonderful content in the community (but you are more than welcome to post there yourself). I will search for some more photographers to staff the community and hope it will start to fly any time soon. Than you for your swift feedback and lets stay in contact.
O yes, i surely will. You see i do photography just for a hobby and i am so much occupied with my startup about photography BeScouted if you could think of a way how to cooperate on both i am sure we could bring a lot value to each other. And simply promising to do something and then fail to deliver is just dishonest i believe so thank you for your understanding.
Welcome back, would be awesome if you can migrate bescouted.com to Hive :)
Hi, Viki! I would gladly do, but now i am completely bootstrapped with the website and i do not code lol. If there would be somebody who'd like to work on it with me i'd be more than glad to discuss the terms :)
total disregard to the quality is still here (well, maybe not 100% total but still). and the circles... hmmm... they didnt self-eliminate totally, too. just beware :P
I'm sure it still is. The system remained more or less the same since the rules did not change. Just some hope that it is not run by a specific group of people anymore and dev community will react better to the simple members.
the fish is rotting from the head, so, yes, there are big hopes. I believe that we are "pioneers" in that sense that it is a long cultural process, the mechanisms on engagement / models / rules / behaviours are being tested and adjusted, etc etc etc.
Absolutely. I was involved in a discussion earlier today regarding this topic. Last fork will be the one that will manage to consider all sides and make them happy. Consensus. For now consensus is not reached by far imho
Good to see you back ! Lots have changed for the better around here.
I certainly hope so :) And i certainly like that Fester Inc gone from game regardless how it works out.
Yep. It's looking positive.
Welcome back, I am delighted that you are coming back on this amazing platform !
Thank you!
Hah! Welcome back, again... :) Good to see you back, well... kinda... lol. Or should I just say, Welcome! :)
Kinda good to see me back? lol Oh well thank you :)
I'm still gonna stick around and enjoy your sunsets :)
Hahaha, oops! That kinda came out wrong....lol
Meant to say, it's kinda seeing you back, but it's a new place - hive - so... it's not really "back"...
Ok, I might have just messed it up more... :D :D
Let's just say: Good to see you here... hahaha... there! That's better... ;)
hah hah i get it, just teasing you lol How's it been, i can see you are not that active yourself recently :)
Yeah, took a break... you can call it real life 'interruptions'!
Now we have the time, but can't go out... And as you said, was getting tired of the 'drama' on-going on the platform... Let's see how hive goes... :)
Yeah, let's give it a chance :) And i'm waiting for your sunsets :)
Hahaha... I shall dive into my dusty archives to find more....
Unfortunately, we've been having rain every evening the last weeks - sigh!
