"What's stated in the cover image is all true and awesome, but's it's not for the Average Joe's. I have said this for years already. The Average Joe's from Facebook doesn't care about decentralization, blockchain or that transfers are lightning fast.

They are used to Facebook. They know Facebook.

I admit that you can get people on board by pushing the whole decentralization-thing on them, but most of the Average Joe's are more likely to join for other reasons.

Such as: blog and earn crypto.

While I personally think that those words are what has brought most people towards Steemit/Hive since the beginning of it all"

This is a huge issue and the source of my rants lol. So much so i decided if it can't get done right do it yourself". So recognizing all this the first thing i understood was the people out there that you need.. don't even care about the same issues you all push to the forefront.

For example one big statement i hear alot is that well hive is decentralized social media blah blah blah.. the reality of the situation is.. i'm on social media everyday and these people dying to tell you everything about them.. they giving up all their info free of charge.. they telling you about their babies and their jobs and their lives and their this and that..

Does that sound like a person concerned about data or privacy. I think its the opposite .. i think they got no problem with releasing data i think the problem is they don't get paid for the data. So when many hear things like the biggest promotion for steem in the early days or marketing scheme was the idea that you could luck up and make $40k on a post. That was a brilliant marketing scheme it wasn't going to be true but it got people here and it got them excited and once here you can kinda get them to stay for other things.

You get here it gets worse for those people. The stages of learning far too long too difficult. It probably took me like 3 months to even understand these dpos systems. In a world where the average person has about 5 minutes per social media encounter. I mean its so much stuff we miss here and if we don't miss it and we think we can continue on like this.. that's not being very intelligent.

If you think you can ignore all these things. The ui's and user friendliness of the site. You know what the best thing to do is.. Make apps very similar to what the people already use lol.. Developers pride themselves on building complex systems and all these applications.

People don't care about all that. Normal people want normal applications and easy user friendly wallets preferrably like the ones they already use.. on paypal and ebay and facebook and amazon so the idea is to make everything familiar not foreign

It took me about 5 minutes to figure that out then i developed bitcoin myk that has all the functions of facebook looks like facebook with every feature and have wallet integration. Now i don't have to rant or complain about what they do or don't do here because i already know people will pick and choose the more convenient user friendly models.

People get here they don't understand the system.. They thinking they going to make hundreds if not thousands per month they going to make pennies and in many cases they going to make nothing.. This is a problem because this means they'll leave out of the door as soon as they come in which is why what works best for most people are freemium services and thats what i created.
