You are not wrong but it’s not like Hive has a lot to work with, and I also think many people feel overly pessimistic cause their friends don’t join, but if we are honest with ourselves, we usually can’t get our friends to do anything. The best people to onboard are rarely the people closest to us, and I can’t remember the last time I did something cause someone told me too. I think people need indirect exposure first.

The reason most of the influencers don’t stay is because they don’t understand the place and no one takes the time to explain it to them. If you don’t interact or get involved, you don’t go far. Interact a little and it goes a long way.

Could monetization of views and all that help? Absolutely. I don’t see it as necessary at all, but it would certainly make things easier. But I honestly think that’s something the front ends will be able to achieve much better because there’s some variety in the vision and levels of centralization between them.

I don’t think we need to wait for the development to happen. It’s already happening and has been happening. I think we are fine where we at, we just need the numbers going up instead of staying flat (they are no longer going down, so that’s a start). Sow growth could be better than fast growth. This is something new that people will need to get used to if it’s going to work. This isn’t just a social media platform. Potentially it’s a new collection of micro societies.

You should share your ideas with your favorite front ends and see if they implement them. If it works with one, they’ll all start adopting it.
