You can spam tweets all day with delegated RCs from account creation. This is not really a rebuttal to what I said in the slightest.

This app doesn’t require people to use hive, or add value. It copies their tweets to Hive and then directs people to twitter. It’s literally telling users to go elsewhere.. and from an seo standpoint, the content originated on twitter and its directing to that.. so it doesn’t help in that regard either.

It doesn’t bring in users, doesn’t help seo, doesn’t add engagement here.. so I guess the only benefit is it adds activity on a numbers level.. which so does a spam bot.. so I guess in that regard, spam does have a benefit and this is the same. I guess I don’t really think they a good app.

Perhaps they could focus on building an actual short form content, like they pretended this was, that would be fun and beneficial. I don’t actually think they know how to do that though, which is ok, but perhaps they should just stop saying it then.

I agree that it doesn't help with retaining users, but using HIVE is already a good step.

And for the RCs, well, delegated RCs are still delegated by someone who holds HIVE. They can't come from thin air.

Businesses/Dapps using HIVE should think only of their business and use HIVE as an extra tool. If you try to force the use of HIVE, then you are losing customers, and the blockchain won't be successful if it isn't inherently useful.

So let dapps do whatever they do, and hopefully there will be enough value for new users to join.
