yeah... maybe you need to understand what would captivate their attention first. Can't generalize interest anywhere these days.

Testing !WINE

When my post or message would potentially make them earn money, they suddenly become "no longer busy". ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜

Yeah... I know that kind of deal. One day I will show them why I stoped messaging them.

You reminded me of a lot of people who do just that to me. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ Anyway, when I showed D.Buzz to some of them and how it differs from popular social media platforms, they quickly told me that

Not sure if we are within the same lines of thought...

The reason for stopping messaging is not because of adoption or lack of it... but instead because people sometimes refuse to learn just because they have preferred method. Hence donโ€™t see the full picture of things.

I just find it too easy to talk to people, despite their different way of thinking, if I offer them something in return for their time. ๐Ÿ˜ The words "difficult", "busy" and "don't know" disappear from their vocabulary if they are promised something that will benefit them (especially money). โ˜น๏ธ

I have learned that most of them will never join Hive unless I offer them a "sign-up bonus" (and being active here is a different thing) - or maybe I'm just not trying hard enough to convince them to join Hive. ๐Ÿ˜

yeah, I know what you mean... it happens not just with HIVE, unfortunately. People sometimes also forget that the reason for the benefit might not be worth the reason they think is the benefit in the first place.

I must be a rarity because I do most of what I do for pleasure... because I just enjoy discovering about stuff. And over time I have learned that no one can give me what I most enjoy... time! =) Hence, money shagging does not often work with me. I prefer "information" as form of money... ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This is probably the longest thread I have seen LOL
