If you were a door greeter at a big mega-church, a giant soccer or football stadium, a movie theater, a Billy Graham crusade, a concert, on the side of a highway, etc, imagine saying hello to thousands of people, but what if you were accused of being spam or being fake and corny for saying hello again and again and then ask yourself a more important, what if certain aspects of the Internet could be like as Trump put it the other day like a digital version of a public town square? Now, I am not saying that Hive is a town square but I would simply add that if Hive people were to claim they were a town square, then I would have a few things to say to them in regards to that. Spam can be Repetition-Spam and spam can be Unwanted-Info Spam and spam can be a bit of both of those two things. People can call me spam if they want and sometimes I spam and sometimes I don't. It depends. And I do both kinds of spamming at times. And people can try to stop me from spamming repetition or spamming things they don't like. One problem I have is when I am accused of spamming unwanted text when my crime at a given case was actually repetition spam and not unwanted text spam. Of course, many people can say it doesn't matter which of the two it is or might be at any given situation. And of course people may have the freedom to create bots to attack spammers and others who may or may not be spammers and other things.
Everything is advertising even when you are not aware of it, directly indirectly, and that is why actors are paid so much money and they put the actors in commercials knowing that the face of the actor will psychologically connect people to their products and services whenever they see William Shatner at a convention or when they are watching Star Trek for example. Your brain does it on a subconscious level. It is subliminal. So, even if Star Trek is not marketing, not an ad, not advertisement at all of anything let's just say for argument sake, it then still is used as a form of marketing retrospectively. Likewise, I could sell stuff to you without selling stuff to you. If I go on Facebook and I am friends with people and they find out that I am on Hive, I am in fact selling Hive to them.
Yes, a mute button is a great thing as is customization which MySpace had more when compared to Facebook and I would prefer MySpace.
