LeoThreads has a fundamental issue though. Which will work against growth.
- Microblogging on HIVE is considered shitposting.
- Thus rewards for Threads can only exist within Leo.
- Users therefore are not likely to get much rewards but still need RC to keep posting Threads.
- If little to no rewards come to users they run out of RC which results in no activity (growth limit)
- Or they need to purchase Hive/Leo (which seems like a positive but from outside looking in..)
- Makes Threads a PAID PARTICIPATION microblogging platform.
- Whereas Twitter is FREE with a much bigger audience.
I can only see limited growth by people that are OK with all the above.
You need to provide (capped) guaranteed incentives for Threads in order to maintain participation or it will turn out just like all else on Hive.
Big hype and buzz at the start then it fades away and gets forgotten.
Without a solid model for growth this Threads thing is not the 'killer app' people think will bring boom uptake for Hive.
