The fact that #Steem had reached 1 million users before the fork is significant because it suggests a large potential user base for #Hive that may not be fully tapped. Many of these users might be unaware of their Hive accounts or the value and opportunities these accounts represent within the new ecosystem. This situation presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Hive.

I was thinking about this a while back. Has anyone made any effort to contact these users since Hive forked from Steem? I imagine trying will eventually get your account blocked over there but who cares right?
Yeah, I got my account blocked for other reasons. After that, I changed my banner image and profile link on steem to point to Hive.
They never noticed. I suspect they thought by keeping me from posting, they didn’t have to worry about how my profile looked.
But I set up a voting bot that would vote for posts by new accounts, which often leads to those new accounts to look at my profile.
Some of them will even follow my account. And if I post, they see my post in their feed.
These blind spots let me have limited access to new users. But not existing users.
Awesome. I'm thinking I should do that too. I just dread buying Steem to have the RCs for it.
You can use very minimal RCs for this. Just voting with almost no power is noticed by new accounts.
Right, new accounts are going to notice any upvote they get. But I do need to put some amount of Steem back in the account, as it has zero Steem Power now. I just now deleted two of my old posts and that used up all of my RCs!
the big accounts I like the fact the hive is there but off the market. I imagine if they found out about it they would just dump the hive. I may be wrong though.
we can only hope I suppose
You never know.
In a hindsight they all will realize the value of their Hive accounts.
