I think I'd actually use an auto vote service if it was simply an option that comes standard on something like Peakd. If I was designing the feature, it would simply be a button on the profile, like the follow button, but it would be called 'Subscribe', from there tweak a few parameters and done. Now I am a 'Paying Subscriber' and when I login, notifications alert me of new content I've subscribed to, and I'd even go so far has having a feed that only shows content I've subscribed to.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I really like that concept, and you can gauge how much of your vote, or support, you are willing to give per day/month etc. this would then set hive up as a real alternative in the minds of big streamers imho
Combine that with the fact, when a Paying Subscriber buys HP in order to tip/support (vote), all they're doing is transferring value from their bank account or credit card to their Hive account. That money is still their property. The Paying Subscriber in this scenario can support the content or personality of their choosing consistently at no cost. The Paying Subscriber is actually earning as well. They could cancel their subscription at any time and have more money in their wallet than they started with (dependent of token value of course). If you were to tip a youtube or twitch streamer, your money is gone forever. For the consumer, this is the best deal in the history of supporting the arts and entertainment industry. No middleman in sight either. Youtube, twitch, they all take a cut.
Something like this already exist for years now and it's remarkable how it still doesn't get tuned into PeakD. Instead we have to go offsite for Hive.Vote and do an extra filter like creating a list of favorite authors and subjects just to bring close to the intended results for our feed.
Sometimes it feels like you need to use a new fork for each grain of rice on the plate. Came across a promoted post today talking about games on Hive. Blackjack, Texas hold em, plus 23 more. First thing that came to mind is: is this legit? Second thing that came to mind is: if I click that link, is my account compromised? Third thing: I can't be bothered with this.
But if the game loaded up in the Hive browser I'm using (PeakD), maybe a couple quick Keychain popups later and I most likely would have been playing all day. That's how I'd play poker on Facebook years ago. All those games had their own development teams/company. Became tremendously popular because their product was injected directly into a social setting, easily accessible.
And yes even just a handy tool like an auto vote service. Someone could sign up today because Splinterlands maybe. Not find out about peakd being a hive product for a year, then not know about the auto vote service until two year later after stumbling into a random blog post from the dev that mixed in with thousands of actifit report cards and cat pictures.
Oh well...
I find the wallet page of PeakD being the closest frontend on getting a grasp of popular projects on Hive minus the straightforward gambling dapps. Wish something as convenient as how Facebook used to show their apps was also here. Sometimes the only kick I get from being old on the blockchain is finding out someone who's in for a months to a year still has figured out some other features.
Some functions aren't eye catching enough to get people to appreciate how powerful the tool is. Take for instance the recent HBD pump where you can arbitrage trade your Hive to HBD at 1$ value? peakd has that on the wallet with some explanations but most users would ignore this small function even if it nets them a hundred dollars in a span of seconds to minutes during those wild pumps.
I had Splinterlands cards for years and didn't even know. Then folks said I could rent them out, so I went to that site. Clicked a few buttons, no clue what I did, but apparently I was renting them out. Probably been a year since I checked on the progress, if any.
I have H.E. tokens. I don't even know where the hell they came from or what they're for. But one thing I do know is those "You've received X coin from so-and-so!" messages are HUGE, distracting, unnecessary, and make navigating a comment section a pain. 0.000003 dollars worth of a token can't be missed. All the cool stuff. Where is it?
Could stumble into a deep, dark, mysterious and somewhat serious post fully equipped with some art. And there's Eccency's super happy spam message looking all out of place and awkward directly underneath.
Chuckle. This place cracks me up.
Those are nice and all but can I bother you with a Hive proposal I'm working on your blog that has nothing to do with my agenda? would you appreciate it if I just sent it via a wallet tx with a memo detailing a snipper of how great it is?
You know there's also a community out here looking for good posts, if you're pump out good content, you may get an account notifying you for a good job and a link to how you can delegate to support the project.
Yes, Hive is its own circus and I'm surprised how I'm used to it too.
How about that pseudo-influencer con artist that called everyone, Dear.
Or those overly aggressive obnoxious types yelling at people for months about not being able to figure out why they got downvoted.
Yeah you get used to it...
