Users Think In Simple Ways

avatar

I have some friends who joined Hive. They think in simple ways. They do not make money, and they leave this platform.

Social media sites like TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube are more promising. They can promote their products there. Users can have a lot of fun on social media without worrying about being downvoted and losing an opportunity to earn money.Another reason that my friend got bored is that they do not get upvoted. I cannot stop them from thinking like that because it is true.

I still survive in Hive because I still have an income from my job. If not, I may leave this platform. That is a little story about my friends. I joined the Indonesian community. There were some whales that always supported the members, even though their posts were not good enough. The upvotes motivated the members a few months ago. Today, I did not see the upvotes from the whales to Indoenesian community members, and now the community is gone. There are only a few members who stay. That is a sad story.

I do not know how many friends have left the hive because they do not make money. I hope whales will care about this fact. Thanks.

That’s the problem… always about the money. The $$ is a perk and shouldn’t be expected.

The hive platform should not be seen as a personal ATM , anyone who wants to earn on the platform really need to work for it, they should also engage with others , I noticed that many people do not engage with others but are expecting people to engage with them...if you want to grow on the platform , you should engage with others and you will see others engage with you and you will grow during the process.

Actually I've seen quite a healthy number of content creators vlogging on YouTube complaining about getting community strikes and having videos demonetized with little to no explanation of why their content got flagged by YouTube, or maybe flagged by an adversarial competing creator, who knows? Centralized social media doesn't have to disclose that to you using a publicly viewable ledger.

Hive has downvotes and often times they are justified downvotes. I hardly ever downvote but when I do it is for issues like plagiarism. People who try to pass off other's work as their own deserve nothing. Even when an account like @lasseehlers gets downvoted to the point that the low reputation score hides the content the content can still be accessed by the public through the blockchain. If your content gets removed on a centralized social media platform I can't see it and decide for myself whether that was justified or not. It's off the centralized servers.

I've been downvoted before without good justification. Do you know what happened? Some of the users following @curangel upvoted and undid the bad faith downvote. That doesn't happen on centralized social media.
