I'm saying I could use them, of course. I see how they could be useful, but I don't need them. I'm the same human with or without an orange check mark. "Higher" earnings come at a cost so technically they're not higher. And so on.
interesting. I have found my earnings increase above the 10 hbd, plus the 10 hbd is used to purchase LEO so it drives up the value of the token that i earn on the platform.
Also, those who spend money to earn more end up being the same people who sell more pushing the value down while thinking they're pushing it up. Cutting one end of the rope off, tying it to the other end, then thinking the rope is longer.
You have 240 premium members. The next 240 have to share votes with the previous 240. Split 480 = fewer earnings. Split 1000 ways = less. Delegate HP for one year, subtract $120. That's your real APR. Some won't break even.
Logic dictates those who gain/earn more will eventually be the ones selling more. Unless the system keeps them locked in, spinning the hamster wheel. It becomes rational to remain outside the cage at that point in order to benefit.
Another thing, Premium claiming to boost visibility and engagement. If 250 premium accounts get boosted to the same place, they all blend in together. If premium don't talk to basic accounts, that's just paying for acceptance. Lame
I don't post but when I do, it's for an audience. My audience doesn't really exist on this platform. Different market. I can still buy the tokens and let everyone else spend the money to push the value up. It's more efficient.
By the way, it seems that some other people feel the same, Leo has lost 4 premium subscribers since publishing the parent thread:
I think there was almost 250 subscribers earlier this week. Maybe the question should be why don't people continue with their premium. It could bring a bit more valuable feedback.
So regarding the engagement. I experience almost zero level of engagement. My last post generated 48 comments. None of them was published in Inleo. None of them are spambot commands. The only posts published in Inelo community that have similar engagament are various card giveaways and posts in which there's no discusion at all, just chittering bots. Like this:
Regarding the earnings, I got three major upvotes of say $17 when combined. However, at least one of them was from the stake-based curation progam, which does not depend on the Premium. So there's no incentive either.
Regarding the front-end. It's painful to use Inleo for long posts with many photos. And when you want to write in two languages, it gets even worse. Put simply, my user experience sucks. I tried different browsers, erasing cookie and cache, but right now, it is not ready to let people create content. It may be ready to allow people wish good morning in Threads and share YT links. But that's not really what I'd like to do around here.
Regarding Threads, the flagship. I feel like people just share random things they don't really relate to. All the news for instance - I've met several pointing out events from my country or region. At least one third of them were not accurate, some even completely misleading. Just like if I started copying news from say Thailand or Chad - I have no relation to those countries and know basically nothing about them.
Regarding Threads II. I have engaged quite a lot, I'd say. My vote may not be interesting due to my Leo Power, but when it comes to HP, people definitely appreciate. So I've threaded, engaged, voted...
In Ecency Waves, I only publish a ad to promote my posts time to time. However, when I share something else, it does better than the very same content on Inleo, regardless my Premium. Same post, almost double earnings in Ecency:
In fact, my Premium subscription expires in a few days and this discussion inspired me to write a long review. With the numbers and facts I looked for to present my arguments :)
I guess it is great for people who want to focus on threads and enjoy the current content published there. It does not make sense for me, though.
Still familiarising and getting to know more about the platform but I intend to cgo premium soon.
Awesome! Premium is the future. Welcome to the platform.
Thanks
I'm premium and need to continue being premium
I am also on the Premium over and over
accumulating money to buy the premium!
good job
I don't see the point. One can still walk without shoes.
So you are saying there are no features that premium provides that you find useful?

thanks for your feedback

i agree that happens on Hive a lot but that is not how the LEO whitepaper works, thanks for stopping by

I have premium and will most likely not purchase another one. It's not worth the ten bucks.
Any reason why you feel that?

So you have not seen an increase in your earnings with premium?
or your engagement from other users?
Nope, 95% of my engagement comes from other platforms, if not more. And no, the earnings don't cover the cost.
