Those sites are not hive, we can get into the nuances if you want. There is more to posting on those sites than earning. Most writers, i will argue, care more about exposure than earning b'cause the former brings in the money (long-run)

Sort:  
  1. You will agree with me that most of these platforms are pre-web3, to replicate their success or attract their ageing user base is an onerous task. they enjoy the benefits of economies of scale.
  1. what we can do differently is attract the younger population-new entrants into the social media space--most of which are getting into web3 with dapps they are familiar with...most of which are SFC platforms.

1/ Certainly they are pre-web3. That said, when you say older crowd, what do you mean. Short form has some younger users but there are a lot of "older" ones too. The Boomers still with us and GenX (in the US) is a long way from dead.

2/ While short form captures a lot of attention, people like Joe Rogan prove how big the market is. He had a 3 hour podcast that people listen to. So the idea that long forn content is dead, I disagree.

  1. audio and visual content is the easiest to consume as they involve passive consumption. when it comes to written content it is a totally different game as the consumer needs to be actively involved in the process. nuisance.
  1. I am sure you won't give me 3 hours of your time to read my crap, but you could listen or watch it passively while engaging in other tasks and still derive value from it. That cannot happen with written content.

I expect that #threads activities will normalize once the campaign is over. I myself fails to share on Twitter the long-form content that I used to share prior to the campaign.

3/ Do people not take it serious on Hive? Certainly we do see the scalping mindset, with many not serious out about. But again, that is a different type of creator.

  1. and my response: we are too small an ecosystem to have varying disparity in output. We must, in fact, get the best out of everyone to have a positive network effect.
  1. in my opinion this involves maximising the time and attention of those with the lowest skill or mental capacity. With threads (SFC) there is an open window to low-level conversations which might not interest you or me but other people

I do agree with this point. But then again everything starts from that small and slowly rolls into a big thing.

In a small group, the interest rates are not that fluid, therefore free-flow intersection among the users is not apparent.

Threads have increased on-chain rapport. no dont need special skills or ideas to create threads which lower the barrier of entry. Anyone can thread and we will see the positive effect this has on the leofinance ecosystem
