I think I’m not explaining myself well. In simple terms:

Marketing hive as ‘earn to post’ demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what hive is.

You may be able to market hive.blog as ‘post And earn’ for example. This could even go also for 3speak.tv (although I personally wouldn’t, u can still ‘post there and earn’

Marketing hive protocol like this is the equivalent however of trying to market the http protocol as Instagram.

Agree with me or not, that is what u are doing. There is a great disdain for this on chain since steemit inc did post and earn and never marketed steem the block chain itself. As a result no one knows about the capabilities of the actual chain.

If we do this again for hive we misrepresent what the protocol is completely.

Did u ever see a marketing campaign for https? Or a marketing campaign for the internet? Hive is the equivalent of these. It IS NOT a content platform upon which u can post content. Hive is the fundamental protocol that enables sites to be built that make this practise possible. In the same way as a blogging platform is built upon the internet, hive.blog is built upon hive. But u do not post and earn on hive. U post and earn on the blogging platforms built on top of hive. In the same way u do not post ur photos on https. U post ur photos on Instagram which incorporates https into its operation

Saying something like ‘hive, post and earn’ is like saying ‘https post ur photos’

We made this mistake for the last 5 years with Steem.

Now we have done the equivalent of making the world think that https is a photo platform when it is not, even though it’s protocol helps to enable photo platforms.

In the same way the ‘post and earn’ approach is relevant / applicable to the platforms built on hive but not to the hive protocol which hive.io is representing.

I’ll leave it at that. I hope u have been able to glean something of my years here struggling to stop ppl marketing ‘post & earn’ as the main approach for marketing of the chains protocol.

We are now on a path to help ppl see that hive is more like http protocol than an app upon which one blogs and earns (since the apps upon which u do this in the hive eco system are separate from hive the protocol and should be marketed separately)

I am not giving u my opinion here it questioning ur marketing expertise here, which is clearly great. I am pointing out that u have fundamentally misunderstood what hive is and are using slogans that would be more appropriate for a small number of the platforms built upon it.

If u are going to propose a marketing linguistic for hive, I hope this has helped u better understand how to do it. ‘Post And earn’ is the very thing we spent the last 5 years confusing ourselves with and is the main reason ppl don’t know hive has a huge eco system and continue to wrongly think it is just a place to post and earn (which yes, some of the apps are but hive us not) .

I spend the time on this as I see how talented u are and want to help guide u in the technically correct way. It took most ppl here years to understand this and as u see many ppl even in these comments today are still intent on wrongly marketing hive as a place to post And earn rather than recognising that this marketing approach is relevant / applicable only to about 10% of the apps built on hive and has nothing to do with the protocol hive itself
