Oh and then think of this...We have the 'referral program' that HiveOnboard started up....Imagine those content creators encouraging their audience to come to Hive, learn the ropes as they poke around...
The more their 'audience' learns Hive and get rewarded, they do too.
Nope.
That's Shilling.
That's how nearly everyone will see it.
No one with an established following will risk getting cancelled because they got paid to say "go to hive".
That actually happened already.
David Pacman or whatever that clown's name is did that very thing with his TRUMP-HATE content and didn't do a single positive thing for onboarding.
Instead he was forced to disable comments because even his own fans didn't like getting treated as sheep.
Plus it's essentially saying:
The content creators here aren't quality. Let's pay people outside of here, to make quality content outside of here, that makes people want to come here.
Isn't that what marketing is...Shilling ;)
You are wrong actually here. They are same user who are writing content outside too.
Before you start judging the content in Hive more, I like to know what do you understand by term Hive.
My point wasn't that it's not happening.
It's the message expressed with that statement.
Your question also needs expending..
Term is a term.
HIVE what? The name, Blockchain, community, token.
You've asked for a subjective view I gather, when I see things objectively. Meaning I'm not emotionally committed. It really means nothing to me. I just make observations and convey opinion.
Since we both are not emotional fools so I think there is no need for us to engage in debate.
Let's keep our opinion safe with us.
There you go, a smart person.
I respect your ability to realize it's pointless to play word tennis over something which, if you're committed to, you have emotional ties to. It's a pointless senate, specially with someone (I) who isn't emotionally tied to that thing.
Because my default I'll always be rational.
And a person committed (not specifically you), will always represent more on the side of emotion.
