Yes the account being etched in stone is fabulous, because it's tied to a 'following' (a term I don't like much but whatever) and the following in this context is synonymous with 'market'. Being able to take that market around with you wherever you go is jizz in your pants level awesomeness.
Luckily people in business have thick skin, right?
I'm human before businessman. Just a regular dude. But one of the first things I ever told you after your shady comment (which I still chuckle about to this day) is I stopped giving a crap what people think of me. Especially if it's just some lunchroom gossip and they've never actually taken the time to come talk with me. There's always those folks in this world that turn their noses up and I just think yeah, any higher and you'll fall on your ass.
In general, simply socializing and learning any chance I get. In general, I'm not really interested in crypto. Just as you folks focus on building a platform for a community, I focused on building my platform. All the tools were there, I just had to learn how to operate them. We own our account and our content right? So I don't need to tie myself to any one community or tribe or anything like that. I don't even talk to people off the platform. 99.9% of all my communication with this entire Hive thing and all the people I've met, is on chain, for all to see. No walls here. I'm all over the place. Talk to anyone. Social circles are natural but they also put folks at odds with one another. Always looking over the fence, not happy with what the neighbors are doing. I just walk through the fence.
Establishing a fanbase is totally normal. But look at a Youtube video comment section. People are just talking to a screen. What I love about this platform is being hands on with the community surrounding my work. All those people that come visit. I actually know them and if I don't, I get to know them. Drives me nuts if I go visit someone and they respond with, "Thanks for the comment." And then they wonder why it gets so quiet. That's what happens when you give people the cold shoulder.
As it all stands now it is kind of like a small town, with neighborhoods. So I get what you mean now. It's easy to feel out of place sometimes. And we can't be everywhere all at once either.
L2 communities and tokens. You know what those need? Exclusive content and not curators, but 'consumers' willing to stake and tip. Basically buyers for the content. Without that all you folks have is money out the door, and that'll never change.
