Mass adoption of crypto/blockchain is a very important personal mission for me. I strongly believe web 3+ to be decentralized. Certain problems need to be solved for internet users.

Platforms and databases being controlled by governments. This is especially problematic on the side of censorship. A government can ban a type of music because it doesn't align with their values. Suddenly, it's illegal for all the media (including the internet) to host or promote that kind of content. And we're not talking about just porn or adult content. It could be music or art such as tasteful nude paintings to rap or rock music.
Platforms being "jurisdictions" controlled by corporations under the formerly mentioned governments. I'm pro-business. And I understand that companies have to make a profit for their shareholders in America by law. I also realize they are regulated and monitored to follow the law. And most of blockchain also applies sadly (most mostly monetarily, not socially posted content wise.) This often means shit rolls downhill. Platforms like Facebook and Youtube have strict community guidelines and terms of service that downvote and limit content. Some strange ones include things considered "violent" or "triggering" or "inflammatory." This limits REAL NEWS, and many types of ART and MUSIC. They often also limit affiliate programs, as well as, anything to do with cryptocurrency.
Platforms ask for too much. They want the rights to your actual intellectual property, the right to monetize your personal data and property for their gain, and more. All for the privilege to access a fanbase you built for them in a limited way (on their algorithm, which judges your popularity as well) at the expense of you advertising to the same, by paying the same platform for advertising to your own userbase you brought their... they did all this in layers, so it's too late to change your mind.
SASS/Services ask for too much money for tools. While I realize that the expenses of advertising and tools is often tax deductible (and you could build your own on the main web too); cost is a barrier for small-midsized businesses and creators. To speak for myself, I've spent thousands of dollars on tools to message my own friends, manage my social media, and advertise. After the pandemic hit, this (among a myriad of other issues) pretty much put most small-midsized businesses OUT OF BUSINESS including many mom-and-pop sized brick and mortar businesses.
Demonetization. Platforms have taken it upon themselves to remove monetization on all content previously monetized. It's one thing to say, "No more swearing going forward." But it's another to say, "We're removing ads from all videos with swears because we don't condone it." It also is a big lie that the companies advertising care about swearing. They were fine with their ads placed on anything generating them leads- period.
The Hidden Gatekeeper Agenda. At a risk of soundng tin foil hattish, this is very personal to me. I've made controversial content with swearing, violence, etc.- specifically, RAP MUSIC, and moreover, battle rap curation. As you may or may not be aware, battle rap is not violent. In fact, battle rap started a way to solve for violence by creating a platform where people could diss (disrespect) each other verbally, legally, debate style, and the audience would judge who won the battle (rap/argument.) But because of the verbal content, it's considered triggering and a bad influence. To digress, music and art that is considered DARK in any way is slowly being washed from the Gradeschool Friendly mainweb. And because it's not able to be advertised, monetized, and promoted widely- it doesn't get any visibility. Therefore it doesn't really get picked up by major publications. And it doesn't therefore easily get verified on social media platforms. As a result, only certain content is ALLOWED to compete and certain safe content becomes popular and it's a big "circle jerk. Also, the masses due to logical fallacy, BELIEVE that content to therefore be BETTER because it's more popular, verified, and press covered. We have seen things like PORN be pushed into the recesses of the web and I wont argue if it should be. (As a parent, I personally agree with PORN being behind a consent shield.) However, it seems as the world becomes more global that a lot of kinds of content is also being shamed into the closet such as MUSIC, ART, REAL NEWS, among other things.

These are just 6 of the dozens of problems that creators, influencers, startups, midsized businesses, and fans of these face.

Problems with SOCIAL-BLOCKCHAIN

It seems that social-blockchain can help solve some of these problems and I've been attempting to research and test where blockchain is at for years for this reason. Although it too has problems.

Most blockchain dapps look like shit. They look like something out of the 90's. Even many of the games can't compare to the games on Xbox. The interfaces look worse than AOL circa 2000. I'm really proud of Peakd, and Audius, and several other platforms to stepping up the designs to be comfortable aesthetically.
All things blockchain are complicated to USE. From wallets to exchanges to all the sections to how it all fits together is something most of the masses don't have space in their brain for. I really appreciate platforms like Bitclout for being mass adoption friendly (but their design sucks.) They did this by (a) removing the need to have a wallet or coin to get started. (b) Making it easy to earn something right from your first post. (c) Onboarding High Net Worth English Speakers, celebrities, influencers, investors, first. They also made everything intuitive by copying Twitter. I love how Peaked is alot like Medium!!! So in that respect, Peakd nailed it. Peakd will appeal to Medium writers. However, the other Hive dapps emulating other platforms have a long way to go.
All things blockchain are complicated to UNDERSTAND. Building on their previous problem, diving right in and using it lowers a barrier. But beyond that, people need to understand. Large social media platforms have EXTENSIVE (and easy to navigate, complete) FAQs, forums, onboarding reps for influencers, books, classes, universities, you name it. And people have written their own as well. There are dozens of classes by Facebook and by authors on Facebook.
Blockchain dapps don't get fast enough results. While we all love our principals and community, most get on social media with their goals as well. Why adopt something else- something HARD to do, HARD to understand, that looks like shit, only to see no results? I was reading a post about how it's better to onboard people that onboard their own tribe rather than looking for a tribe within the existing platform. But the truth is that Social Media is a little of both, right? People want to build fanbases, be able to reach them all, and monetize that effort. And they want the support of the community on the platform they're building on, not to be ignored or to be fought. Don't we hate it when we reach out to Facebook devs for help and they never respond? Don't we hate it when Twitter blocks our content without any explanation or remedy- just no, too bad, move on, 1 strike left? Yes, we hate that shit. And then worse yet, we still aren't getting anything from it. We just spend spend spend and hold hold hold and if we ever profit, we are demons. And to digress, after working, writing, promoting etc. if you only get 1 like, eventually we move back to Facebook where we get 2000 likes- because if we're not making money, the least thing we could get is some kind of validation.

Can HIVE/Peakd be a solution?

I've been trying to learn the interface because I come from the pre-fork platform. Some suggestions for HIVE (and peaked where applicable.)
* SOCIAL MEDIA EMULATORS. If it doesn't yet exist (I haven't found it) grabs the code from appics and port it to HIVE asap. And make peaked automagically NOT copy the content ie filter out the content from the appics clone so that they SEEM on different chains. Or use a different token. It would be well to clone:

Twitter
Instagram
Youtube /Twitch (done w/Speak and Dtube)
Soundcloud (where did dsound go???!??!!? omg! get that back!)
Medium (PEAKED is IT! It is wonderful)
Facebook (Peaked works for that too)
Reddit (Peaked works for that too)
Patreon (I thought there was one?)
Pinterest
* SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING. Some mechanism by which posts can be shared either automatically to social media apps. Even a way to easily link up IFTTT or Zapier.

FOCUS ON AUDIO-VISUAL, NFT, AR/VR & Images
1. Embedding is super important. Wordpress lets you Embed almost everything. If it isn't supported, it can be created easily. I realize that's a big undertaking. But it might be helpful if the Discord has a channel that would allow people to easily request sites allowed to embed not just the common ones. And a running list of sites allowed to be embedded.
2. Various layouts for the header image. Not that important since Youtube thumbnail size is fairly standard. But square is also pretty standard. And also long, because most stories are long.
3. Support for video or gif headers to actually animate. Do they? I've not looked. And if video cant be supported, then maybe an easy video to gif header tool.
4. Some way to embed buttons that aren't an image.
5. Embedding NFTS from all the NFT sites. Sorry, I know they compete with NFT showroom but it would be helpful if people could embed their NFTS from anywhere.
6. Audio/Video media-- here is the tough one. Most social media now have "stories" and audio clubs (Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, etc.) I noticed Hive uses Discord for most of the audio chats and video chats. However, HIVE has live platforms. It might be well to deeper integrate them so that (like other social plarforms) friends are notified when you go live and those lives are visible on the profiles top space when live, and available in a tab for later viewing. Also perhaps integrating discord audio chat and video teams, or something like tiny chat (preferably discord because it's free.)
SIDECHAIN FRIENDLY ASF. Something that has me really turned on about Phantasma is all the work they're doing in the NFT space but also because they are wrapping ETH and making it possible to transfer NFTS bought from Ghost to Metamask to sell on Opensea. In addition, they have pavillion which is making it possible to use those in actual games on steam. Also, thru steam, many VR worlds will be able to use NFTs from the market, and possibly also those bought with eth through metamask to phantasma. Not shilling. And they have a long way to go. But do you see the use? *Here I saw some star cards "on wax" and I noticed Leo doing something with eth. Otherwise I noticed most commentary to suggest hive and hive tokens don't play well with other chains. My suggestion is hive learn to play well with others. It's about the users being happy, not loyalty. Wide adoption is about if the users can use it and are happy.
NFT CRAZE. I'm not going to bullshit anyone, Ghostmarket has the most advanced NFTs. They are not popular granted. And ETH NFTS are more popular but a headache. Bonus for some platforms accepting FIAT! I would love to see NFT showroom compete at that scale. Especially the "russian doll" feature and loading an NFT with other crypto. Imagine if Hive NFTs could load coins from the other tokens? Whoa.
Parts need work together I noticed how BeeChat didn't include my followers. That's essentially a different app, yes? And then we see how notifications lack. Hive mind is different, yes? It would be great if everyone were on board with each other more perhaps? Because from a user perspective, we don't "get" that these don't always play nice together, or play at all sometimes.

I still need Wordpress, here is why.

I'm a creator, influencer, small business, crypto-enthusiast, affiliate marketer, anti-statist, occultist, secular, woman- whew.

Installing Wordpress on a host is fairly easy and boom, I have a blog. From there, I can import Bossbuddy plugin and have my own mini-Facebook member site. I can also set up Woocommerce and create paywalled content, member tiers, classes, a shop, etc. I can install other plugins to have points, gamification, and have a whole economy. It just works seamlessly, mostly. I can email or ping or message my whole userbase, in groups or individually. I can create drip email campaigns for my music releases. I can embed almost anything, or there is an app for that.

4 Big Drawbacks of Wordpress?
* My host can shut me down
* The government can shut me down
* My content and everything could be erased by a DB error
* Although people can buy points with crypto, the point system isn't crypto itself. It can't be cashed out into anything. Points themselves can't be used on another site.
* Hackers and others can just attack it easily

First things first...

I think onboarding lots of regular users here is a bad idea right now. I think HIVE should FIRST onboard PROGRAMMERS and DEVELOPERS first. Perhaps those who can really support the backbone, dapps, development, support, education, etc. People that can create all the things to make it truly superior to not only other blockchains but also to social media in general. Get them on board and delegate them MUCH POWER.

Second thing second...

I know some of the whales here are doing practically NOTHING with their HIVE POWER. And many lease their power out. But really? Wouldn't bringing up the overall value of all of hive be worth more to you than a few dollars from a leased HP?

EMPOWER THE BEST PEOPLE HERE FREE! JUST DO IT! You don't care. You know you don't. Let them free to build it up. Consider it a form of enlightened capitalism.

That's it for now. I'm sure I'll be back with a part 2.

I don't have a signature yet.

If you think I'll be valuable here, delegate me HP, make me a voting proxy or tip me.

xoxo

Hello @sandymeyer @engrave @sanjeevm @discovery-it @jlsplatts @urtrailer @marcocasario @splatts @keys-defender @veteranforcrypto @obsesija @hive-defender @b0t5-t3sting, I'm very interested in understanding why my very extensive post was downvoted by all of you. Your feedback will help me understand why you don't like my content and about your expectations. This post was me being completely honest. I'm not a hater and you might not know me, but I always help onboarding efforts as I learn and contribute. So do help me understand why you disliked what I wrote and if you read it. Thank you :)

I was following the @keys-defender downvote trail to help them fight with spammers but right now I have stopped following it. @steevc is @keys-defender account compromised now ?

@steevc | April 21, 2021, 2:22 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

I'm not sure what is happening with that, but maybe it's gone a bit crazy. I suspect it was intended to undo votes by certain people, but it's hurting the wrong users. My own downvotes are all manual and done with care as I know others follow them.

@omitaylor | April 21, 2021, 3:29 p.m. | Votes: 6 | [ VOTE ]

@peakd @sanjeevm @steevc I'm pre-fork and coming from steemit and I know @pfunk told me about a big effort to fight spammers here so it didn't turn out like Steem. I do understand things being well intentioned but I believe that these efforts may be one reason why Hive isn't retaining users. And I get that the opposite approach is almost scarily dangerous because of spammers.

I just saw a silent comment that said farming detected. I'm assuming that means that because I promoted the post (and paid for it) that it looked like I bought votes. This is strange because why allow said services in the platform to pay for promotion at all?

My last few posts were about this. I would like to (in a happy world) onboard about 1000 users to start from another platform by adding my reflink to my next NFT distribution. I was thinking of building a community here. But I can't even get a hang of this myself. I've been massively downvoted TWICE this week out of 5 posts, murdered. None are abusive at all (unless you don't like my personal opinion. lol!)

Strongly feel that this is going to scare away new users. Is there not a whitelist program or verification program? Should not downvotes be manually audited?

I put 60+ minutes into this post and a lot of real thought. :(

Can't we make hive friendly?

@steevc | April 21, 2021, 3:54 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

It looks like you were temporarily on the HiveWatchers list, but have been taken off now. The trail with hive-defender seems to have been a mistake. Shit happens, but I hope it is being resolved. Hivewatcher are approachable on their Discord, but it can get busy there as there really is still a lot of abuse. Some of us do what we can to deal with it to make Hive a good place.

What is allowed and what is considered good for Hive may not be the same. I have not looked into promoting posts on peakd and have no idea what benefit it gives.

Most people on Hive are friendly, but there is the freedom to be a troll that some will exploit. We do not have to conform to any whitelists, but I think the witnesses and others want to keep abuse at bay as much as possible.

You can verify yourself to Hivewatchers to avoid some issues. My own downvotes are all manual as they have impact.

I am hoping Hive can be better than Steem (which is getting worse from what I see), but it is up to us. It is technically complicated, but with tools like Keychain it gets easier. Bringing in 1000 people would make a massive difference and I hope they can be made welcome.

I cooperate with others on fighting abuse, but I act as an individual.

@omitaylor | April 21, 2021, 4:06 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Thanks for the suggestion. I will get on that verify process immediately. I do see having a community here superior. Neither Communities nor SMTs were ready when last I was on Steem. So I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL HERE. And see what Leo did with it, I am literally STOKED. But like... not if every other post gets demonetized by downvote bots. Not that I mind so much, but I know my userbase would feel like shit if I brought them into an uptight, overly judgmental or toxic environment. Many don't join medium and stay on Facebook simply because users there will flat out comment that your article sucks! LOL! (I know, I'm a writer for 3 publications on Medium too.)

I have big dreams that's all. I don't want special treatment. Just the ability to participate.

Back on Steem I never liked when folks promoted posts all the way up $500 and I would never do that here, but I definitely think it's valuable if I'm spending an hour on a post that I can boost it— after fees and the WAIT for rewards, they usually half. And then converting SBD to LEO or HIVE or Tips will run it down, etc. It's working for pennies, most of which I keep or put back into the system. I'm very much about staking- but I like to maximize my efforts but not be wasteful.

Anyhow, thank you for your help and advice.

@steevc | April 21, 2021, 4:15 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

People have to realise that with rewards at stake there will be abuse, but people should not cry over every tiny downvote. Some will choose to troll the system. What you have suffered this week is definitely not typical and seems to be an unintended effect of a script.

Buying votes is generally frown upon on Hive. There's a thing called Project Hope that was giving votes to their community if it got 50% of the post rewards, but the greater community did not like that and many were downvoted to remove the big vote.

Nobody is entitled to rewards here and they should be earned based on what the community thinks. That does not always happen as some big accounts automate their votes, but there are curation projects that use manual reviews.

There are no hard rules here, so you have to see what works for you without upsetting too many people.

I understand what you're saying but you got 20 cents of downvotes... and $10 of upvotes is it really worth all this? And a 4hive tip.

To anyone that is worried about downvotes I'd say turn off votes and focus on tips. Motivate people to tip on your stuff. Voting is a process where over a million accounts have full rights to vote UP and DOWN and they have 7 days to do it. So out of million+ accounts to expect no downvotes is maybe a very anxiety packed mindset to be in. On the other side... no one can "down tip" or "un tip" you.

@keys-defender | April 21, 2021, 8:43 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Screenshotting this and adding it to my post...

@omitaylor | April 21, 2021, 10:39 p.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

@jarvie @keys-defender Do remember, I come from pre-fork where there was no tips and I don't "know" of all of the upgrades to Hive since 2018. Also, most new people just joining will not know about the tips feature, nor of the spam/plagiarism problem. Lastly, "get paid when people like your stuff" is what's advertised to the public." So it can be a bit misleading.

Why do I care? Because I want to bring users to Hive and I want them to have a great experience coming in the door. Because the people I will invite are not just "anybody." They are high net worth English Speaking first world users who will HODL.

And I'm not squeezing my own boobs here when I say I'm someone I trust to onboard people. So I'm certainly not going to bring people to a toxic environment while other social blockchains exist and function without the politics i.e. Twetch, Bitclout, Minds, SoMee, etc.

Believe me, my concerns are not in vain. They are 100% out of best interest to:
* Fix The Peg
* Improve the Price of HIVE
* Onboard better people here than Steem
* Create Communities, Tokens, NFTS
And more.

Many of the things I wanted to do on Steem that I could not because my keys were gone and because the tech wasn't ready for me. Literally, @crimsonclad just finished developing the steem tipper for twitter. And I gave away hundreds in Steem.

I would like to add that upvotes are important because:
* If we PAY our Steem (15 per post) to promote then are downvoted, we effectively have been demonetized.
* If that demonetization has put us on MUTE, then we are invisible, which is indeed a form of Passive aggressive silencing- especially since it is the very intention to do so.
* These encourage new people who's post may only generate a few cents.
* We can be tipped anywhere wallet to wallet, without being on a platform.

Please note, I am FOR the downvote feature when it is used responsibly, and MANUALLY, to downvote LEGITIMATE:
* Plagiarism
* Spam
* $500 posts of a Hampster

Automation of downvotes could destroy more than mindset:
* Posts set to null don't get nulled
* Posts set to dev don't get funded
* Posts sent to the peg stabilizer don't pay out
* Posts sent to new users being onboarded via beneficiary don't work
* Destroy the reputation of those following the trail in the minds of the users, some of which are witnesses who will not get votes

Just food for thought. I'm not an enemy. I'm probably one of your best allies, you just don't know it yet. <3

@jarvie | April 21, 2021, 11:06 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Well i don't mind helping you catch up... happy to jump on a voice chat at some point and answer lots more questions. Maybe it's something that can help lots more people if it was recorded and available for people.

> "get paid when people like your stuff" is what's advertised to the public."
Certainly something we have long since moved away from specially on Peakd.com which is the most used interface for Hive.

Also because most people do use PeakD.com they do end up knowing about TIPS but future updates will focus even more on tips.

Paying for votes is a decision that most of the community has decided is not appropriate and the community is willing to downvote those sorts of actions.

In it's place there is the ability to pay to promote your posts on peakd.com ... it does end up burning about half the tokens so that it benefits all token holders.

Automation of downvotes is not something I can or want to defend it seems way too problematic.

I infrequently downvote and I tip more than most people so i'm not really the best person to ask about downvotes.

Also reputation is something that is loosing importance peakd will likely be the first to move it out of a position of importance and I know many are considering doing the same for hive.blog. Reputation won't go away but it just won't be shown in many places.

Also i know that future updates to peakd.com (again the most used interface for hive blogging) will put more emphasis on interactions like commenting and tipping. A heavy emphasis on voting has never led to sustainable success it's well documented. It's a fun perk but it's very very limited ... it has a set amount of hive tokens coming in each day and so it's a very limited resource and the more users means the more people competing for that limited resource. Interactions, Views, Tips are all UNLIMTED resources and so those people you are bringing in don't have to compete they simply can increase those things and they should lead to economic impact. Right now views doesn't directly lead to economic impact... BUT they will later this year.

@omitaylor | April 21, 2021, 11:29 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

That is wonderful news and I super-appreciate the update and would like to remain updated as much as possible. Again, not the enemy here.

I sometimes can challenge people's paradigms and assumptions but my genuine intention is a win/win for all. I know what's behind this beast (Hive) under the hood. So I am 100% certain that despite the hardships and issues with the peg, this is still the best social blockchain to develop and align with. I've always wanted this team to be ahead and stay ahead of the game.

Not against buying upvotes personally. Back on Steem there were many good causes running those kinds of programs including Non-Profits for environmental things (plant a tree) those helping plankton (who received curation rewards from bigger accounts who voted after the 24 hour mark) and more.

I feel as though with power comes much responsibility. Some people abused those powers and technologies and it caused many people to VILLIANIZE things like upvote chains and bots. Automation is awesome, saves us all time and energy, but just like AI- we have to be really careful about what we teach it to do- that goes both ways.

I know I might not sell people on the idea. But when used for good causes such bots can be VERY helpful to the economy. It's sad when malevolent people ruin it for everyone. It's like GUNS, we hate when they're pointed at us but love when they save our lives.

Agreed implementing all those things would be great. So the new sell would be, "get paid when someone likes your comments" (???)

Will there be a slider on the comment upvote button?

How will views be monetized?

@jarvie | April 22, 2021, 2:39 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

Really i think you'll notice that there is very little marketing being done that focuses on the Reward Pool ... like i said it's very limited and is a poor foundation for longevity because people can't depend on it and the value of the tokens in that pool fluctuate so much... and I can go on and on... and most everyone else has also decided that marketing isn't effective when someone starts with the limited reward pool inflation money.

There's actually a marketing company being hired and because of a funding proposal and from what I understand they are being told not to focus heavily on that aspect either. So just seems like that approach is not happening.

PeakD for example focus is "Decentralized Social Media with True Ownership" it is easier understood and tests way better with people and it's something that doesn't fluctuate.

@omitaylor | April 22, 2021, 3:10 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

@jarvie I looked at the proposal and I have several peeves with it having gone to school for business and technology. And maybe that's just my subjective opinion. I would love to pick the brain of the Agency and person who made the proposal but then again, who am I? I think it can be done more effectively and efficiently, and it's not to be an antagonist of THEM, but in having an allegiance to the FRIENDS who have big stakes here. I'm debating if I should produce a lengthy comment with my concerns. I won't get into my challenges here in depth, but you see: rocking the boat here (even for the good of HIVE) doesn't go over well. Plus the way I talk/type can be very direct and intimidating. sigh

See most people here now don't know how deep I was into the former platform.

@omitaylor | April 22, 2021, 3:36 a.m. | Votes: 2 | [ VOTE ]

@jarvie I just tested the tip feature. Very cool. Random question, where do you stand on HBD on external markets? Is it better to circulate HBS internally? Or does that increase the demand and price for it on external markets? What's your observation of this?

@jarvie | April 22, 2021, 3:42 a.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

HBD on external markets? I mean yes i want them available and tradable on more markets. I really don't know what the question is here ... i'm sorry. It's also not really an area i'm really that interested in compared to other topics. sorry.

But glad you got to test out tipping.
