MySpace payed bands, and influencers to come post there, and went from nothing, to millions of users in a year. If we could get a large enough marketing budget, you could pay mid-teir celebrities, and public figures to post say 1 exclusive video or post a week. Maybe promise them a certain amount of Hive of they do it weekly for months? If they have a decent stake waiting for them, they might be encouraged to promote to their fans on other platforms.

I was an early steem adopter that let my page go dormant. I just a few days ago found my keys, to explore Hive. One thing I was surprised to see was that there were several alt media figures posting here who's work I consume elsewhere, yet I've never heard them mention Hive. That kinda bummed me out, and I've been wondering why they just post here, instead of pushing the platform like they do rokfin or LBRY.

I'm still exploring all the new features and such, but I'm gonna make a post going over how I feel about Hive. What I like, and some. Concerns I have.

There is an incredible amount of potential here. The marketing for steemit was always a joke imo. I'm not professional but I always felt that if I had that budget, I could see more results. But I'm probably talking out my ass. Hive has a chance to do it right, and maybe we can bukld something lasting, and impactful.
