No - People don't know what they want until they have had a taste of it and I hear what you are saying, but like I said last night and have said a THOUSAND times before.....
A vehicle is comprised of countless parts... each plays an integral role in the efficiency of the "whole".
The "cogs" is a facet that is NOT paid enough attention in this arena. With all due respect @theycallmedan - we already have MANY developers... developing a million things and all of them are amazing - but that does not fix the problem of appealing to the mass. That does not fix the problem of speaking a language that others understand! That does not fix the problem of people ALREADY here who lack enthusiasm to invest or spread the word of investment. That does not OFFER the fried chicken that everyone (subliminally) WANTS!!!!
I have said this before in a witness chat - I was "pooohoo'd" then and I will probably get the same now, but "guys at the top" need to start speaking a language that the average user can relate to - or at the very least, start listening to what we are SAYING!!! I am 3 years into this blockchain and 70% of the technicalities STILL bore me to death!!! BUT, I have my place and my purpose. I market and promote this space on a GROUND LEVEL - "get people to understand it" - find them a space and place where they will be looked after, that will teach them the fundamentals and essentially HELP THEM GROW!
Developing "NEW STUFF" is NOT going to eradicate the problems that we ALREADY have! Problems, which it is becoming apparent - ONLY ground level participants seem to GRASP! You are never going to get around the "logistics" - and developing MORE carrots that dangle at the eyes of newcomers is only going to create more holes in the whole!
I DETEST the way "on-boarding" is treated like a statistic! These are PEOPLE - they ALL need to know what to do and where to go! We have an absolute ABUNDANCE of newcomers... but how many of them are being guided?! Only as many as we "little people" can manage. That is ok, because as mentioned before, we ALL play our part in the whole... but more people here need to be mindful of these facets and pay ATTENTION to the importance of each!
WHY are we not making fried chicken for the people that are ALREADY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am! - well, I am trying at the very least!
This is the greatest comment I've seen!
And its exactly what needs to be done. We can have all these awesome initiatives to onboard people. They come, sign up and then are quickly forgotten because the devs have moved onto the next shiny object.
Retention is just as important as onboarding!
Shot dot! Appreciate the positive feedback.
Yep.
When I first joined, there was a view counter. The consensus on why it was taken away was due to complaints POB was dead and posts with hundred(s) of votes only had like 3 or 4 views. From bidbots to autovoters it was obvious most of the highest paid posts received very few actual eyes on them. LINK
