Much love my brother 🙏.

I think I will do a post roughly a week in regarding what I see as instant differences between traditional social media vs Hive on the blockchain. Without getting into the weeds too much, I think there should be certain steps to gain the interest of noobs to come where the grass is greener, before hitting them with the numbers and acronyms. Let's face it, people can be simple.

Being a critical thinker with time to dive, what put me off for awhile was what seemed to be a learning curve that I did not have time for because it is impossible to absorb enough to make a decision on it; it takes commitment.

In short, maybe pitching to folks what is exactly the same about the two platforms (Hive & FakeBook) might help in setting the hook before the fish get scared off.

There is a term related to child psychology called "connect & redirect". The toddler is having a meltdown: you can't bring logic in at that moment because that part of their brain isn't developed yet, you have to connect to their current state and calm them down. Only once they are calm, you then redirect them to the use the logical part of their brain and explain.

For the people that are on "sucker media" (just made that up), instead of instantly trying to redirect their interests to the numbers differences, let's connect them to what they can relate with in Hive--then get them in. Once they are in, then maybe redirect slowly into the new world.

Hide the numbers, hide the charts, because the people that understand that part wont need you to explain it to them anyway.

Let's let people know you can do what you normally do on other platforms, while learning about what crytpo is all about at the same time. This literally is the easiest method of learning about crypto that I have encountered but I did not realize it till I was already in. Without Jons perseverance, it may not have happened.

The BIGGEST plus to Hive I have felt thus far (even more than the earnings aspect), is how the structure breeds positive behaviour. This is the complete opposite of FB, Twitter or any other platform with lobbied funds pumping agendas into everybody's screen. For me, that is even more important than the money. That angle would likely get more feet in the door, but that process has to be as easy as possible. You guys did a great job with the Hive Guide but I would even dumb it down farther before showing that series of videos.

Another suggestion: possibly have two separate approaches; one geared towards content creators/entrepreneurs/business; one other geared towards the average Joe/Jane. The creators will want to hear more on the ability to monetize their craft. The others just want to see what you ate today (until they see what can be done)

I was totally planning on only writing a few sentences but this is what I always do. Its okay though, @jongolson tells me my war and peace tangents will be more welcome here 😅 Maybe I should worry more about a backlash associating FB users to toddlers having tantrums lol.
