Good evening, buzzers. After feeling a little Meh this weekend, I pushed myself to find some of my Hive buzz again! Waking up this evening (yes, sloth-like I know, but I blame working nightshift!) I read that Beeswap had closed down. another blow the Hive's overall buzz!
So, I got to the laptop to investigate some more, and yeah, it doesn't work! Investigation over! So, I made my Hive rounds, checking in on the weekly slothlysavers, ensuring the slothbuzz team actually voted and replied this week. Then I headed over to Slothbuzz.com and remembered my love of Hangs! When we launched the slothbuzz site and Hangs shortfrom, I found it was a great tool to increase your interactions on Hive many times over! It's quick, easy and effective, posting shorts to not only to Slothbuzz Hangs, but also Waves, Snaps and even LeoThreads! Connect with the whole of Hive at your fingertips!
Not only does this allow you to connect with even more users, but it also improves connection speed between users. Sometimes, Hive feels like a waiting game; you write a long-form post that takes an hour or more. Then you post it and wait for votes/comments. Yes, there's some 'insta' votes from bot accounts and trails, but for real engagement, you could be waiting hours, even days, heck, sometimes even weeks before someone finally finds and responds to your post!
That's where short-form changes the game, you get almost instant responses in some cases, people scrolling the feed, always looking for someone new to engage with. It reminds me of the earlier days of Twitter, where people were keen to engage, mostly positively! Are they simply doing it in hope of earning quick votes and 'earnings' or could short form really be Hive's future?
Will AI/bots take over everything? Will they also beat off the competition for Shortform? Would you actively engage with 'Ai agents'. Heck, can you even tell if you're talking to AI in short form? They normally just agree with you, and who doesn't want to be agreed with!
Well, I'm back off to Hang after this post, I'm enjoying the little buzz I'm getting from the fast paced replies and engagement, maybe I'll even get some votes, and only a few could see me earning hella more than I do for creating long form content. Maybe my future is in being the buzzy sloth!
