RE: Exploring some fun social media ideas for Hive// ChatGPT.

in #hivelast year

Well my friend, I have to confess that I am all for "HiveRoast - The Roasting Arena" and also some knots up for "HiveRage - The Venting Zone" for kickass new popular dApps on Hive that actually would have the potential of going viral.

There is no doubt our "social network" on the blockchain urgently needs a good and massive revamp in the Humor department. Otherwise, very soon it will drown in the depths of oblivion dragged by the weight of its own useless shilling practices on Web2 platforms while trying to attract, recruit and onboard new unwary folks who actually don't give a damn about blockchain or cryptocurrency technologies.

I'd almost be tempted to develop those dApps myself if it wasn't because my current internet connection is so crappy and useless. But rest assured that I will take your ideas into account if I do not die before trying to improve my internet.

hehe. I dont think anyone here has the courage to commit to something like a kooky, funny idea that doesnt play it safe.

There are some quite funny folks here. None of them can code though. lol

Well, in that I think you are right. Several times before on the mothership from which Hive took off, there were already some similar attempts with dApps like Dmania, Dporn an early version of MeMeHub and many others that never had the approval or support of the old wealthy circlejerk of honchos within the platform. All of them with an evident lack of vision of the future and a true sense of humor. And which unfortunately many of them are today the grumbler's replacement generation in the Hive ecosystem too.

If you dare to investigate a little, you would really be surprised to discover that just as you say that there are some quite funny folks here, the majority of them actually can code very well. Only, that soon they just threw in the towel in their efforts to create something of real "social" value and emigrated from here, because they soon realized it wasn't worth wasting gunpowder on vultures.

Because believe it or not, having a great sense of humor is essential to be able to code. };)

The problem with those old dapps was that they didnt exist on layer two.
No content form on Hive using the same token distribution system can exist alongside blogging (long form) and still have any chance of success. Maybe video content, long form but the rewards cant support that. A TikTok type dapp would be gone fast. Thats why Dmania or Memehub could never take off (probably some other reasons as well).

If you wanted to make something that appears "low effort" compared to 1000 word blogs it cant use Hive rewards.

I need to be proven wrong. :D

That's the crux of the issue. Without a sophisticated sense of humor it's almost impossible that some individuals understand that 1000 word blogs, they are neither of greater effort, quality nor of greater value than a very witty and short hilarious satire with a surprising comedy punchline to wipe out all the rewards on Hive in one fell swoop.

I need to be proven wrong. :D

Just wait a bit until the major prankster on heaven grant me a better internet connection, and you will be proven wrong!

Cheers!!
