hehe. I dont think anyone here has the courage to commit to something like a kooky, funny idea that doesnt play it safe.
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.
There are some quite funny folks here. None of them can code though. lol
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.
Just wait a bit until the major prankster on heaven grant me a better internet connection, and you will be proven wrong!
Cheers!!
