Thanks, its a good read and I agree with the sentiment. Why give your likes and thumbs up for free on the corporate social media. Its madness.
But I understand also if Hive isnt his core focus, he just wont get the maximum out of it either i guess.

Yeah and I can still respect his approach. And for myself there's more I could be doing to earn here yet I sit back and leave the opportunities alone. Haven't played any of the games, for instance.
Is his biggest payer most likely youtube?
With all things on hive, i guess its a measure of how you want to spend your time.
I actually never looked in to see his Youtube successes. It's tough to earn money there. Youtube takes a huge percentage as well, which annoys me. That same percentage here goes straight to the people, which doesn't annoy me.
He has one of the higher % paying niches that pay well with a low audience. Therefore I suspect that is his key focus. But yeah, thats hopefully the future, cutting out these awful corporations and banks! :)
Middleman is far too greedy! You know the entire music industry, the artists get roughly 12%! Sure some of them are incredibly wealthy but still... 12% ?!?!?! lol
Its a joke for sure. Unfortunately, to be really successful i guess you also need to sell out your soul if you join one of these labels. I love some of the artists on Hive like Raven, stickup boys and tdc tunes and ive heard some more good songs on the rising star game.
Used to call it digital busking and I'm often surprised music doesn't do as well as it could here, though that is improving, and of course they thrive with an actual audience.
Some of those labels give artists 'loans', making them rich, but if their product doesn't sell, they have to pay it back. But of course some of them start living the life, and blow all that money, then they're ruined, and can't get a deal again, or anything. But that's why you always read the fine print I suppose.
