You can build the most amazing product ever but there is no guarantee that anyone will ever use it. What have we learnt from Web3 so far?
The fight for the attention economy is the most important factor for success.
Building is half the story, you need to capture people first.
Hive has consistently not done this because there is not a focused effort by competent community managers who use and understand Social Media. That's why I'm honestly not that bullish on Hive.
Twitter is being bought by Elon and most of Web3 people are on Twitter first and foremost. An Elon Twitter is seen as a Free Speech platform by CT. Theres millions and millions on Crypto and NFT twitter. They aren't here and they most likely never will be because theres no community manager leading the charge. Hive right now is a bunch of left and right leaning libertarians jerking eachother off while almost no growth happens and we fade into irrelevancy. The only thing keeping it alive is the rewards and splinterlands.
Most people here don't get it or don't want to get it, hive will become a slow rugpull just like Steem if this keeps up.
Never once seen anyone in web3 talk about Hive besides me. I share hive and splinterlands stuff when it makes sense.
These are my thoughts on what's wrong and how it needs to be improved with competent social media managers and dedicated onboarders who go on podcasts and Twitter Live Spaces to talk about Hive. Being on twitter is the most important overall for Hive growth and getting friendly crypto users here, like it or not that's the facts.
