I think a lot of it could be like the new user I just found, and a few I have seen in the past. If you can not interact with the product then you do not use the product. It is like buying a brand new TV and the only way you can use it is to have a power outlet.
No HP, no ability to react or respond to the people that posted to their introduction post. Prior to my delegating 25HP her RC were likely pretty low, now she can at least respond to a few of the comments.
On boarding with out providing a temporary power outlet, is not going to help. I have seen all the arguments, let them spend 20 dollars if they want to use Hive. It was the same over on steem. If they want to play in our sandbox make them pay. That attitude obviously has not worked. Time for people to wake up to that fact.
I delegated to:
@quibquab they were brand new in discord asked about HP, I delegated 25 HP, and left a message about doing so, no post no replies, I left the delegation there for almost a month.
@the.muse same story as above, they did make a couple of comments, but after those they left, I don't know if it the comments were before or after my delegation to them. They seemed interested, were in discord asking about HP and I left a message and got no reply from either of them, people it seems still want at least a little bit of instant feed back.
@filipemarch still has a delegation from me, last interactions were about 2 weeks ago, they are currently powering down, they may be one source to ask why hanging up the Hive Hat.
@schmidi still receiving a small delegation from me still active. I saw their intro post commented, delegated to them. They may be one to ask why still active, what kept them active and learning.
@turner88 like above found and delegated to on intro post/day, still currently active.
@laurenluftballon the newest user, first post a couple hours ago. 25 HP delegated, as they had 0 HP just like all the above when they started out. One to follow and watch and see if they stay or give up the ghost.Two of the individuals I delegated to I was unable to verify if they were even aware of the delegation and their ability to now interact, and they never did do any significant interactions on hive.
One individual who it seems just did not find what they were looking for.
Two still current and active. Did the starting HP help them decide to stay? Would they still be here with out it? Starting HP and ability to interact on Hive is a very much over looked part in my opinion.
