I have noticed that usually there are users who just focus on posting and leave it to luck that their post gets voted, don't you think maybe it's a misconception thing when we invite someone to Hive? I mean: when people enter Hive for the first time, is the user's impression that of a social network? Or that of a content writing platform? Maybe that lack of coordination as to what Hive looks like to people logging in here could be one of the reasons why new users have a hard time integrating into the blockchain, finding themselves with a radical change between what they thought Hive was and what it really is when they interact here for the first time.
Anyway, posts like this really are very useful when it comes to demonstrating the potential of Hive as a community, since I've been back I've been able to see users with large amounts of followers make extremely useful guides for new people who are joining the platform (which, there really are quite a few) and thus raise awareness for these new users to stay here for much, much longer before they get discouraged for not understanding the reasons why their content isn't successful or seen by someone.
Thanks for this content!
Hive is a combination of blogging and social. It will never have the privacy features people are used to on Facebook, but some people seem to treat is similarly. I think it's more like Medium with added Youtube. You have to be aware that everything is public and you can be judged on what you do. With rewards at stake people take it seriously. It can still be fun.
