- I've read somewhere that Hive's marketing is done by its members themselves, so a professional and paid marketing campaign wouldn't be necessary. I don't know if this is really good or bad, I think anything can happen. If a member or a group of members hire a company that specializes in marketing, it could be a good thing. After all, they have experience in this field and perhaps they know how to use the right and eye-catching elements to attract new people, so it could be a good thing.
- About a friend bringing people to Hive, that's a very interesting point, because it works practically anywhere. If a trusted friend recommends something that they've already been involved in and operating for some time, the tendency is for that person to at least give it a chance to understand how the thing they recommended works. This is the basis of trust and it's what can bring good results to Hive.
