... and I'm sick of this platform being used and abused by people who play the victim card any time a platform gives them the boot. Offer them a solution and they just walk all over you.
I made a video on YouTube about that exact point you've made and it was my most disliked video by 90% thumbs down. I basically challenged the victimhood and said something like "ok, let's assume you're being censored by these organisations, WHY NOT ABANDON THEM AND COME OVER TO THIS ONE OVER HERE". I even got a couple of death threats. It's crazy.
There needs to be a boogieman, a victim, and then the crowd of people willing to throw money at the victim. That's the business model boiled down to the basics. Slogans like "fight the good fight" and all that is just marketing. It's similar to professional wrestling back in the day, in many ways. If they create a 'bad guy', people weren't supposed to know that evil villain is just an actor with a family and kids at home. And nobody was supposed to know the good guy with the big muscles was just on drugs.
No, I'm not saying it angers me. I will say it appears as if you're attempting to frustrate me. Trying to have your big 'gotcha moment'.
Do you pay the people who drop flyers in your mailbox? Do you pay the people who drop spam emails in your inbox? Do those spam emails not provide a link that leads to a product? This post is nothing more than a spam email. You're in denial if you disagree.
People don't pay for the ads. They pay for the product and in this case that would be actual content. There's no product here. Only an advertisement leading to the product. If I dropped a link on Twitter that leads here, that link would be me advertising my content, which is located here. Would you pay for a link on twitter? If so, I'll gladly offer you some. How much do you think is fair? $100? Or is that too high?

Your Paranoia is noted.
No, I do not agree with your premise that linking to other platforms is 'wrong'.. But you've already made your Assumption though that I am in denial. So we are all finished. Have a good life.
And it's probably worth mentioning, this gentleman would be making far more money if he encouraged more members of his community/following to come here, stake tokens and support his work that way rather than asking for donations. Fans and followers of his work (such as yourself) would no longer be throwing their money away. Fans and followers of his work would earn curation/consumer rewards. Fans and followers of his work could earn when he's around upvoting comments. Fans and followers of this work could earn upvoting one another's comments. All those earnings go back into creating larger votes for his work. And when one offers consumers more incentives, one attracts more paying consumers.
He's shooting himself in the foot by not being here, all while directing traffic away. If he did it the other way around, he'd be setting himself up with a solid revenue stream that continuously grows well into the future. And his content here would be jammed with actual supportive engagement, rather than looking like a barren wasteland.
If you think I'm pouting about links, you've missed the point completely.

They put their content on all the 'platforms' out there. You should be glad they put their PRESENCE on here as well. Any popular creators that are here, the better, whether they link to insert media host or not, isn't the point. I know, you are all focused on $$, and some are more interested in Information first. As I said I am subscribed to all those other platforms already, and I think many are. But I do not peruse them all, daily. I do however check some of the tags here, and see a LINK TO HIS CONTENT on here, where I would have otherwise missed it.
Perhaps you don't care, that other Hivers are appreciative that it is here?
Now, I do agree with you that it would be great if they actually 'interacted' further than they have, but if they don't, so be it let them make less then...
That's not really how I see it. Talking about it on the comments above. Basically trying to fine the actual line here.
My points:
I (and so many others here) already are on these other platforms. It isn't like we are going to ditch Hive for one of them.
He is not saying anything about the platforms (better, will pay you, etc). Other than (the content is posted there).
So many others on Hive talk of these platforms, promote them, push people to them, beg them to try them out, etc.
I agree with some of the points for (an advertisement) but smacking that hammer down without clarification on others just looks like this guy is not in some club.
We're paying $100 to steer traffic away from this platform. Hive, this is shameful.
... and it's mostly automated :/

Victimhood is the new sexy. The guy that went to the bar complaining about his wife to a pretty woman used to be the loser.
You have to click on the video to see the content.....
"There's no content here"
Lie or mistake?
Would you pay someone to drive customers away to another store?
Do you think I don't know in order to view the actual content, I must leave the platform?
There's no actual content here. This is an advertisement.
Lie or mistake? How about some basic business sense...
There's no video here, unless when you click on that selfie it starts talking to you, but that's not what's happening for me.
Are you saying that if someone puts links to their videos that are on other platforms, that angers you?
I clicked on the Odysee one. I already have an account on all those platforms. There was no 'advertisement' that I can see. Can you point that out?

I never said linking to other platforms is 'wrong'. I said there's no content, here.
I most certainly will have a good life. Good luck with yours.

This is an advertisement for other platforms.
