Thanks for taking the time to reply

Why shouldn't that be HIVE?
Why let any of our competitors grab that market?

I think this is the winning point of the whole thing. While I see a well-served niche, it's obviously not. And why not Hive?

I apologize I haven't watched before replying. I was going off of what was presented in this post only (minus the video). I an now listening to the videos you mentioned now. The interviewer is talking about how liking is pretty much meaningless. I think this is the main point of Hive, this very fact, and I just have a different perspective on moving forward from what Hive is doing.

More importantly, it introduces HIVE to people on other platforms. It also gives them a reason to utilize HIVE and hence the networking effect starts to take over. Humans have been humans since the first ones came to be. We are curious creatures!

This is one point I did not gain from the proposal, except for the advertising. How can this get more people on Hive if they have to be on Hive to receive the tips? Or is the idea that you tell people about it and they join then to get the rewards?

I have installed the browser extension to see if my concerns were valid or not. Perhaps some things are not working (as you are obviously in an early phase) but I was not able to tip a youtube creator. I tried to put another account (my girlfriends hive handle) in the recipient field, but it didn't seem to work. Or is it their youtube creatorID? That's my main misunderstanding about how this will work.

Listening to the videos, you say that the person on the platform will know they were tipped in Hive, so do you leave a comment via the youtube api? What goes in the recipient field? I wasn't able to leave a tip to a youtube video with the extension as-is (but I assume this is normal, as this hasn't been developed, or you wouldn't need money!!)

Anyway, looking forward to seeing where this goes. I do want to say I do support this project and will be voting on it.

Yes, I am VERY opinionated in this field, as I have been working on what I think will be the next evolution of what Hive is doing, provable democracy with Time Tokens, where "likes" are limited by time, so they are more meaningful, and each person's say is the exact same (not based on wealth [stake], like on Hive). See the web 4 link in my first post if interested.

So guys, I hope you can educate me on that point about how a person without a Hive account can receive a pending tip, or even better, I look forward to reading your documentation!

All Love,
