Hive posts are not worthless, change who you follow if you think otherwise
A few minutes ago, I was reading some of my recent articles for the sole purpose of drawing a conclusion on if they are valuable or not. I could remember posting a thread on the topic of if anyone actually found them valuable or there are things that needed to be changed.
Are there things that need to be changed? Well, not particularly "change" but there's a lot of room for improvement, what I've discovered in Hive posts is that the more precise and engaging it is, the more value it has, this is why many long contents get buried in the feeds, nobody wants to read a 2,000 words post from a nobody, from a whale? Maybe, I mean, dining which the rich surely has its benefits so why not? If you think I'm wrong, try creating a new account and throw in these damn long notes and see if anybody will stop by, if you get 1 read in a week, consider yourself lucky.
But then, you see the same set of people who really won't be willing to absorb that much content get upset that many are going towards the "shit post" culture. If I may ask, how many 2,000 words long quality content can you read in a day? We all know damn well that as humans in this time, our attention span is growing thin so fuck that shit. I don't feel it's logical to complain about something that you wouldn't otherwise praise if you saw it done right, so why bother? But then again, this post isn't about support particularly, but the content itself.
What makes a shit post?
I could say anything below 500 words, but a 1,000 word post can also be shit, so no content is actually that valuable because there are over 7 billion in the world, a huge percentage of them will always find fault in one thing or the other.
Please, change who you follow and stop complaining
I honestly feel that many of the so called "content consumers" should change who they fellow, you'll always find at least 5 - 10 people calling all Hive posts shit but somehow manage to glorify themselves as the "good content creators" but on a grand scheme of things, their content is really worth nothing outside Hive, just as the claim of others.
What is actually laughable is that we believe that Hive posts should be worth something outside Hive, lol, that's downright ass talk to be honest, a tweet is valuable mostly within Twitter, so the problem just boils down to the fact that there's only "one rewards pool" of which the way the rewards are distributed affects everybody, I mean, I get that, but calling Hive posts shit is out of line.
What makes a content valuable is "Clicks", this is the internet, "attention is a currency" so long as a content generates "clicks" it adds value, but of course, we don't understand nor value this because we don't have fuckin ad monetization on, like is it that difficult to integrate ads and pay a percentage to authors with high clicks and the other percentage can go to buying Hive to grow the DHF balance for projects development?
Anybody? Are we just going to keep wasting our time undervaluing the fact that thousands of people use different Hive frontends daily but the system makes "nothing" from it yet pay authors and curators from a rewards pool whereas more than 90% of the users are not monetary investors thus the "cash out" factor is on the high side.
Honestly tho, it's getting really boring seeing people complain about post quality, please, change who you follow, follow me instead, I guarantee you'll gain something from me, either my content slaps some hate into you or you actually see it for what it really is - constructive criticism.
Ads integration should be the next proposal, spread the word.

Well this was a long ass post! No one has the attention spam for more than three paragraphs (well except you apply some tricks).
I also think hive posts should be valuable outside this blockchain because that's how social platforms grow, including twitter. You find screenshots of tweets on Instagram and Facebook.
Many people did not care about twitter when I joined over a decade ago but that narrative has changed and cross platform posting is one of the reasons for this change.
If this is your definition of value outside Hive then believe me, that's totally different from what these parties mean by value outside Hive.
You know what's actually funny? They really won't support contents that could "potentially" bring traffic from the outside like search engine traffic like Google search, do pay attention, contents like this just get called out for being worthless(especially if it's promoting a different project, here's an example so it becomes difficult to understand what they really want, honestly.
Search engine optimized content, worthless to them
Short content that gets people talking, worthless to them
Long conspiracy theories that increases the curiousity of the readers, worthless to them
So what then is valuable?
We honestly need to take a step back and understand how we're simply stabbing ourselves in a quest to protect a rewards pool that shouldn't even matter much if we had some freaking ad monetization on.
Now I get what you are talking about. I planned to write something about this soon. Lol! God help this blockchain. All I can do is speak my truth
God, indeed.
The people seem incapable at this point. Unfortunately
Well any post I find engageable and learn one or two things from is valuable in my opinion. Sometimes I think we need to throw in these ad clicks to find out if posts are valuable. I've had posts with over 60 comments and close over 100 clicks in the past, but then I've also had them downvoted to zero by people who throw this "value concept" everywhere. They're everywhere on hive though. It's probably plain hypocrisy.
You always have high engagement, I wonder if they realize that if you stop posting that goes away, meaning less activities on Hive as a social network and less transactions posted to the chain?
Wow, is it ignorance or what? I'll have to write a follow up post on how a huge percentage of hive selling pressure can be backed by ad monetization, maybe then they will value clicks more and focus less on the irrelevant things.
I think that ad monetization needs to be thrown in, this way, we can create a bigger relevance to the social aspect that's not getting the concentration it truly deserves. When these clicks bring in ad money, I want to know where the value argument will be thrown in again. I think clicks is relative to value, this is something we can steal from web2 based platforms.
Clearly, leofinance understands this, are we going to see another era where Leo outperforms Hive and they all go about hating Leo again?
Lol, it's weird what goes on around here and most times I just laugh and move along like I didn't see nothing.
The Leo hate is spreading again and it amazes me, I can't seem to wonder why some people are not seeing the bigger picture. The hunger for power and dominance is probably to blame
You're one of the few people who thinks pretty much exactly the same as me.
Alright, I'm on board with your content going forward.

Clearly, many see the truth, just a few want to admit it. Would like to follow back, by can only follow once :)
