Onward we go, the real people. After my post of a few days ago, I said my Goodbyes to STEEM yesterday. I won't be posting there anymore.
I hope Hive retains the name, there's some cease and desist going on about the name.. but who do they contact, Mr. Descentralised? There is no Steemit on this side of the fence.
It's an odd situation. One side is all messed up, the other side looks promising. Yet in order for the promising side to reach its current potential and then exceed it, people interested in a future must stop looking to the past.
Folks are only hurting their investment both ways if they don't decide. The eyes are valuable here, so if you want eyes here, stop giving people a reason to look there.
Even the folks shitposting there to milk the reward pool are hurting that investment and this investment. Makes no sense to me but hey, to each their own.
I'm impressed with the amount of good stuff I see this morning on Hive. The content.., and real content.
I'm almost tempted to start commenting, now wouldn't that be something!
I've been scrolling through the newly created list a lot lately. It's not bad. Bugs me though when I click on a post and see a mile long signature. All these odd looking banners that don't make any sense to me. Why not at least make them smaller? Frickin banners are bigger than the posts sometimes. Can't even find the post cause there's ridiculous looking banners everywhere. One picture, two sentences, and thirty feet of banners. But yeah, other than those damn advertisements, sure, the stuff ain't too bad. I wonder if people know what an 'about the author' post is and why it's wise to put all those useless banners and pointless words inside that, then simply link that crap nice and neatly at the end of a post. Maybe someone will click, maybe they won't, but at least the posts look clean and the distractions are gone. Rant over.
I do use some banners, but not ones that are longer than @revisesociology's beard. That's where I draw the line. You have to impose some standards.. if you see what I mean.
Don't worry I wasn't talking about your posts. I just saw one that was basically all banners. Went to the post before that. Same damn thing.
That is quite the beard though. You could put squirrels in there.
