In order not to be disappointed, you should not be fascinated, this applies to many people whom I know personally. But I believe that there are honest and respectable people, it cannot be otherwise. It is these people who make the world a better place, and there is hope that humanity will not destroy itself. So far, a lot of points to a negative scenario in the development of mankind, but there is always a chance. HIVE is just a tool, with its own advantages and disadvantages, everyone is free to choose how to use this tool.
Hive is an amazing place, of course with its advantages and disadvantages, as in any system, but it is something that has not yet been, at least I want to believe in it. I hope this is not a scam. The basis is the FREEDOM of expression, which lies in the foundation (decentralization). Each participant in the ecosystem is free to choose what to do. Be a parasite, or try to make yourself and the world a better place. To give additional value or only to take, like a parasite, without giving anything in return.
I do not want it to turn into a sect of believers, but it seems that fuses are laid in the foundation and the project went on a completely different path. I like the economy of the Hive, it is like nothing else, I have reviewed dozens or even hundreds of projects, from scams to those that are called TOP. I thought nothing would surprise me. Of course, there are problems here, but in a relatively short time here, I see that a lot of work is being done, and a lot has already been implemented.
It is interesting that the Hive is a fractal structure, like an ecosystem, it is a projection of the people who are inside it. It turns out that the blockchain technology implemented in the Hive gives decentralization, a tool to people, and what happens in the end depends on each participant in the ecosystem. It's cool, really cool. It turns out a mixture of technology and man. The main thing is that there should be a majority of respectable people.
I want to contribute to the development of the ecosystem. I see big problems with marketing. New users are like a statistical error, a paradigm break than a pattern. I see that work is underway, I have been looking for information for the past few days, but this is not enough, in my opinion.
What I'm going to do, plans:
- Create a marketing community for HIVE, or join an existing one if it meets the parameters below.
- Create a separate YouTube channel dedicated to HIVE, I have some experience running a channel on this service, on the topic of cryptocurrencies. But I can only work with an audience that speaks Russian. There are some thoughts to make a parallel channel in Ukrainian. With English, everything is somewhat worse, but I try to work on it.
- In the marketing community here in HIVE (from point 1) I will post reports in English, what and how I do and what results. Maybe it will inspire people from other countries who speak English or other languages, I don't know how it goes, we'll see. I saw separate communities where systematized information for beginners is cool, it can be used, it helps to adapt to HIVE.
As I see it, the goal of the YouTube channel is to introduce the ecosystem, give comprehensive information on the ecosystem, show what can be done here, show that this is a WEB 3.0 social network with all its advantages, etc., but not lead people to the marketing community or somewhere in a particular place. Just give basic information and let them decide for themselves, perhaps give links to existing communities, etc.
Creating a marketing community in HIVE is like a test, a challenge to yourself and an attempt to contribute to the ecosystem.
I would be grateful for the discussion of this idea in the comments. Perhaps something similar has already been done, the experience of mistakes will be valuable. Perhaps you have a collection of useful resources for beginners and marketing - leave comments, I promise to carefully read each and take the information into account.
I'm sure there are a lot of folks willing to help in this effort. I'm one of them. I'm also of the idea that we need to produce more high quality content promoting the HIVE ecosystem. Maybe promote individual dapps like PeakD or Ecency makes more sense? who knows, but I'm willing to help try things. :)
What is good about YouTube is a conditionally free source of traffic, a video is created 1 time and it works for years. Yes, I agree with you that you need to promote blockchain add-ons.
If a person is just a blogger and loves to write, why should he know how the blockchain works, or rather, why should he be loaded with this information at the very beginning, it’s easier to show that there is PeakD or Ecency and each of them has advantages, the first is more advanced and the second is minimalism and nothing more. I think that we need diverse content that will consider both add-ons and the HIVE blockchain itself, as well as the internal economy, etc.
I have already created a channel on YouTube, one of these days I will start making videos. The community has not issued yet, I will write a comment to you when it is ready, thanks for your support!
