I hope Hive is useful and fun for you. I have watched the evolution of the Steem/Hive platform for well over 3 years now. I have tried to get more people involved, but it is frustrating work. I get that they can get a bigger audience on other platforms, but you have to start somewhere. I want to be able to support my favourite bands with votes on their videos and posts. In these times where they cannot play gigs that ought to be of interest.
The engagement here is vital to me and it is frustrating when a post gets little or no response. This is part of why I comment so much. People appreciate the feedback and it can mean as much as the rewards.
I had hoped by now that we could have millions on the blockchain, but we still have a long way to go. People are put off by several things including:
- The complexity
- Cryptocurrency = crime/drugs
- There are some nasty people using the platform without being censored
We have to try and improve the perception of what an open platform offers. Just being active here is a start.
Rock on!
