One of the greatest needs of human beings is to be in contact with people, since communication and social interaction are very important for the development of human beings, in the past we went to parties or visited in-person to those new people we wanted to meet and thus form interactions. But when man invented tools that were accessible to everyone like the telephone and that allowed social interaction more easily, more people could connect.
But innovation in the field of social interaction did not stop and when the digital era had its beginnings with the advent of the internet, the creation of a concept of social networks to connect a greater number of people more easily in real-time was what brought everything we know today. And that is why today it is much easier to connect with people around the world using a large catalog of apps for this, either through videos, blogs, podcasts, live broadcasts, messaging, etc. ...
But as efficient, fast, and secure as these social networks are, they have a very big effect that is making people move away from this model of social networks, and that is that you as a user have no power in these social networks and you do not own your data. That is to say that if facebook, twitter, youtube, google, tiktok, they can delete you from their platforms and censor you no matter how many followers you have or how important you are, you have no power over anything when you use these social networks. Think of it like renting a house, when your landlord decides to evict you without notice, you're out on the street. In addition, you receive absolutely nothing of all the money that these social networks earn by selling your data to companies to encourage consumerism and targeted marketing.
This series of problems presented by these social networks bother many people but it also brings the right steps in the evolution for the better of these social networks and that is where we get to the blockchain-based social networks, which besides offering interaction and connection with the whole world in real-time, They also give the power back to the user and full control over their account, plus they receive an excellent remuneration for the content they publish, and that is why in this installment of the series Why Hive is the best Blockchain I would like to mention the different social networking projects that are very successful and meet each of the needs or demands of the users.
Hive Blog
To begin with, we must talk about the main social network of this blockchain Hive Blog. A social network without borders where you can find diverse topics of interest and a lot of communities to share what you like, this was the first social network interface of Hive after it was mocked up from Steemit. Your content on Hive blog can be monetized from day one, you don't need to have a follower base, nor a visitor requirement, the only requirements to publish here and enjoy the rewards are 1) Publish QUALITY, 2) Be ORIGINAL, 3) NO PLAGIARISM OR SPAM.
PeakD
After Hive we have PeakD, a more complete solution to the Hive interface as you have several tools that will help you create your blog more efficiently and easily, as it is a more complete tool of the Hive blog there is no change in the rewards or charging for commissions.
LeoFinance
This is my favorite second-layer social network, in fact, it is where I spend most of my time. It is a social network project based on the Hive blockchain but focused specifically on financial content and everything related to cryptocurrencies. Born from an idea similar to Reddit but that has outperformed the competition thousands of times, in leofinance you also get paid for your content with a currency called LEO that has an excellent market value, also leofinance has many other things focused on cryptocurrency investors as a DEX and defi projects such as Cub Finance, as well as a free academy built by users to learn more about the world of cryptocurrencies. One of the biggest advantages that Leofinance, as well as other second layer applications based on Hive, has is that when you receive LEO on your posts you can also receive HIVE.
What social network rewards its users in this way?
3Speak
But what if your thing is not written blogs but video Vlogs? Well, Hive has an excellent solution 3Speak a censorship resistant platform with a large and growing community. Many users in Hive present 3Speak as the competition of Youtube, but I consider that in reality 3Speak is far above the competition, since in addition to generating rewards in HIVE, it is also being planned and is very close to 3speak generate their own ecompensas or currency to pay the content creators.
In addition to having live streaming tools and customization of your channel as well as connection with all the dapps of the Hive blockchain.
D.Buzz
But if your thing is definitely Microblogging like twitter, Hive also has a dapp that you will like a lot, it is D.Buzz a social network that allows you to create short content and share what you want on the blockchain. In addition to receiving rewards in HIVE directly to your wallet.
Actifit
Another thing that may catch your attention is that in the Hive blockchain they have developed dapps that serve your daily life, and Actifit is precisely for that, as it is an application that rewards your daily activity. Whether you do sports professionally or simply to maintain your health, with Actifit you can share your routines, exercise time data and be rewarded with HIVE.
In conclusion, these 6 social networking applications are just some of the many that are built on the best blockchain in the world, there are still many more to know and that's what I will be talking about tomorrow in the second part where I will mention other social networks with different themes such as travel, videos, podcasts and more. Remember that to create an account and enjoy all these incredible dapps and their benefits you don't need to pay anything, besides being fast and secure and where you have full control of your data.
