As an artist I totally agree with you @steevc and I'm really aware of the fact that yes, I can find a new audience here on Hive but I've also got the responsibility to (at least) try to bring some people in. Unfortunately my existing audience is too small and don't listen to me 😅 so I can't do it yet.
However I talked about Hive sometimes on my Instagram and I'll keep doing it, because sincerely, it doesn't cost anything to me to do so. Actually it's better, is just more easy content for me.
I know that having a blog adds value to what I provide to my fans and this is the reason I started doing it in the first place. Better do it where I can be paid for it, no?
And I knew from the start that engagement comes from engagement. Because engaging with each other creates the community. But maybe Hive shouldn't be marketed as a "earn to post" place, no more.
About the content, I feel like this implicit requirement for long form content probably creates an obstacle for creating simple easy content that could be more engaging. At the same time, web2 got us used to high standards that I see Hive creators struggle to achieve.
And I need to mention also this extreme sense of not recycling content. I get it why, but as I read in the comments, using Hive takes time and I'd like to use the same content I make in web2 because using more time exclusively for Hive takes away time for doing other things that I need to do as an artist that wants to be discovered.
It is up to each artist how they publicise their music, but I hope to see some Hive exclusives. Good luck with getting people to join. I can create accounts if you need them.
Creating music can be a lot of work, but I imagine musicians posting updates on what they are doing and sneak peeks of new music. They can publicise gigs too. These do not have to be long posts, but could still be original and unique. @dbuzz explicitly allows short posts and you can set a limit on the rewards. If course you can also decline rewards if people might think you are milking rewards.
Hive is a land of opportunities and I hope it can be good to you.

Posted via D.BuzzThank you for the mention @steevc, we are always here to support all the short-form creators. Some people find it hard to create a long post, but practicing short-form content with DBuzz is already an achievement.
Cheers. Hive needs a mix of content. Not everyone wants to write or read long blogs.
