Thanks for keeping us informed about all the new additions to steemit. A very valued function for me.
The Hive idea reminds me of groups too. I ran several poetry groups on FB. They were a lot of work to run, but b/c FB limited feed space, for its non-paying users, the reach and scope had a ceiling. They had small utility but required a lot of effort. Only so many eyes and far too many wanting to be seen. But I suppose if you get in there early.
On the being seen thing ... have you thought about putting your face on the thumbnails. It would make your posts more readily identifiable in feeds. I skip over most of the re-esteems that appear on my feed ... lol ... I am sure am not the only one. Your thumbnails have a look of something that has been re-esteemed. Faces tend to catch the eye more than graphics
You're welcome, I'm constantly trying to stay up to date with what's happening here on the blockchain. And I'll give some thought to your thumbnail idea. I do try and keep them looking consistent (same color text, etc.). I just don't want to end up like all the vlogs out there with the "omg" face in their graphics lol. But I know what you mean.
LOL ... you don't have to make the face:)
"😯❗" 🤣
OMG
You mean those YouTubers who always have a Macaulay Culkin-in-Home-Alone face in their thumbnails? Yeah, that is annoying.
