Thank you for writing this JP. I've been thinking the same for months. It's not rocket science, I assumed this was the logical path to go and it was actively being perused, but I guess it is not....?
People with huge followings are getting banned and censored looking for a new home to bring their audience to. All Hive has to do is proactively seek big personalities on the verge of getting banned from youtube, facebook, and twitter.
When they do get banned they can be prepared to come to hive with some guaranteed upvotes from the whales. I'd like to hope that this in the talk amongst the whales already, and they are actively reaching out to names like JP Sears, Gregg Mannarino, Gerald celente, or Mark dice. Gregg Hunter has already been banned that would be a huge get, Dustin Nemos.....who knows, there are plenty.
I think the ones who have invested the most in Hive need to organize and act now, strike while the iron is hot and grow the platform out before Steemit beats them to it. Raise peoples awareness of the freedom the blockchain.
Please keep us posted if you know of any group of whales perusing any big name youtubers, I'd certainly add my small vote to the pile to help suede someone that can put eyeballs on the Hive platform, which it is all about.
Great post, Thanks for supporting my efforts here too.
