RE: The Truth About Engagement on Hive: My Analysis and Experience (ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I think the unfortunate reality is probably more than 80% and this is a conservative number are just here to make money or some people may say as "extract". If making money wasn't involved, then we would probably see the "REAL" people that were actually here to write, build and be part of something. If I'm not wrong, X is also having these issues as well where people are just faking their impressions and views with their "content" to get paid.
As for valuable engagement, that can vary depending on person and post. Posts like the one I'm commenting now are more opinionated and controversial may spark more lengthy discussions. Then some topics more people are passionate about like gaming etc then they can add more input.
Anyways personally for me, I feel valuable engagement is where the person was genuinely trying to comment first of all and it doesn't matter the length of their comment but you can see in their comment that they did read what was posted and tried to add some sort of input or opinion. Sometimes even a simple thanks for the info if they learned something new is good enough. It really depends on what was the goal of the post and I don't think there's a perfect answer for valuable engagement. everyone will have their own take on it~
we are now in a fast paced world (we want everything fast and this includes making money fast) where ai can summarize stuff for us and our attention is now stuck to short videos of 30 seconds to 1 minutes maybe even less. The brainrot is real and I don't want to go down the rabbit hole but I'm pretty sure it was all a plan to poison the minds so people can't think and truly see what's happening around
Excellent points raised, I believe that web2 monetization will eventually reach a level like we have here at Hive, without prerequisites or restrictions, but in fact, at what cost, more click baits, or extensive and meaningless topics, as in the case of X, just for more views and consequently more monetization.
Of all the ways I have seen so far, I believe that Hive still brings the best concept, reputation, vote, (now the KE), several ways of fair monetization, but also seeking to preserve the ecosystem. It is not the perfect scenario, but it is the best among those available so far.
About the population being increasingly 'corrupted' by a system of quick content that no longer makes them think for themselves, the good point we can take from this is that whoever is willing to learn and improve in something will swim with ease.
People urgently need to find ways to motivate those around them so that they do not become hostage to content that does not add anything, because this way they will grow not only intellectually, but also financially, as they will stand out from the rest in whatever they seek to do.
Thank you for the contribution of the excellent comment.

Hmmmm I'm not sure if web2 monetization will go that way. I think there needs to be some sort of degree of control so things don't get out of hand. I like how here we can't really be censored and it's more or less the same thing. Would just love to see how hive can innovate to match the trend now. I mean snaps is a good example of that but we need more haha..
Yes I also like hive for all this. I also don't think it's perfect but it can be worked on. Not even sure if there are any web3 social platforms that are on Hives level unless we count steem.
oh ya that's what the shadow government wants. They want people to be unable to think for themselves haha. That's how they can control the world. Only those that know can protect themselves.
This is not something that can be forced. It's hard to change when it's already like a routine. I think people really have to go through a situation where they get that ah ha moment and realize that they are stuck in this loop . It's hard to because that's the comfort zone usually in that loop and to get out of that loop really needs a strong mindset.
I would like to know what happens if Snaps stops doing the comment-rewarder stuff.. I bet in a drop of engagement in an instant.
You can always DV a comment. If you feel the person is spamming just take the reward out and it will fix itself for most people.
In the case of rewards from comment rewarder, I think only a dv from OP (peak.snaps) would prevent it from receiving it.
I believe that only he himself can make this balance, and by adding some additional information to the bot that votes, it could be more 'fair'.
In fact, it is the most efficient short-term measure we have at the moment.
oh didn't know they hve that ;p. I'm not super active but I think what azircon said is right. People can just downvote it which technically we should but I don't like to get into that drama; later it becomes like a downvote war sometimes and it's not worth it unless you're a whale lol. Just hope someone that has more authority take over like those hivewatcher people
I believe that at the moment Snap's rewards are not too out of control, at least not that I have noticed, but I believe that this is the solution, when you see something very out of the curve, make a downvote to balance the rewards.
i think people would be scared to do this at least those that dont have big voting power. like lets say they downvote a whale. that whale can just keep downvote war and destroy them which is sad but I've seen it happen
I strongly believe that perhaps the amount of engagement will decrease, and people who frequent it will start looking for other ways to engage, perhaps by going back to Threads, since little reward is better than none, or by looking for ways to get noticed so they can get upvoted, perhaps by increasing the quality of their Snaps.
