As 3Speaks works so well, I'm on a mission to use it more in the future... 😃 For those who were here in the C19 times, you remember I was doing short videos almost daily... Well, I don't think I w...

Guys, how are you doing? Well, it's not that sunny, as usual. There are some dark clouds. And, as you can see, I mean, black shirt, t-shirt. Still in a t-shirt, but it's not in my shorts. Yeah, it's getting colder. In summer, wearing some white clothes is a must. and during the winter, I like to wear dark clothes to absorb that sun, the last sun rays of warmness. Anyways, so let's talk about hive. I bumped into some hive posts where author asked where to post hive content. I have the same issue, to be honest. And then I saw some comments how we have plenty of... of Hive talks on Hive, which I disagree, because maybe we have a lot of Hive content in the past, but now we don't have that many. I don't know which one is better, I suppose, it's always the best to have some kind of balance, but when I'm doing the Our Peak Curation, I notice that there is not that many content regarding Hive, maybe there are about games on Hive. new games, which is, again, nice to see, why not? Why not promote it? Why not talk about it? How will people find it? Find details about it? And the same goes for Hive. And I'm very, very sad to see sometimes that people just don't get it. Don't get Hive as... It's not that complicated, to be honest, but... If you don't see how some others are doing, you can't get it in a right way. We don't have many people doing the show -by-example thing, to be honest, here in Hive, so we can't blame new users to powering down Hive and taking out all of their hive, because they just don't understand why would they accumulate it. Of course, there are people who know about that. but seeing some OGs doing some ridiculous things and giving a bad example is probably the worst thing that you can see on Hive. I was very, very sad to when I got a question from an older account with plenty, plenty of high power. The question was regarding delegations to Laiotis voter, which we use the high power from there to support quality content to support our peak posts and good content in general on Hive. And the question which was, which triggered me was, will I get some up-posts for my delegations? That's a bit pissed me off because you are getting Lent tokens and fully 100% of curation rewards goes to buying back Lent tokens and distributing to delegators of high power to Liotis water. So you are getting something back for your delegation. We shouldn't be a must, but okay, we are doing that. And on top of it, the account wanted, the Hyvian wanted, upvotes too. So, that's just hurt. And I know that some other projects are doing that, that they are giving away high power curations, curation from rewards from that, in liquid hive or whatever else, doesn't matter. and on top of it, they are giving automatic upholds for people who are delegating. We don't want to do that, and we know that because of that, we are paying the price, and that's why we don't have that many high-power delegations to our water, but it is what it is. It just hurts to see that kind of thinking from the OG accounts. If they didn't get it after five, six years, so how can we expect that somebody else will get it, who just came to hive? That's why it's important to talk about it. That's why it's important to showing around why something is important, how it's different than traditional social media. Of course, if you want to be a content creator. on hive. They are not the rules, I hate to use word rules, but they are just directions and suggestions. And we have this thing, this hive power, which is very, very valuable. And it's just so, so sad to see people just creating content without going into... commenting on others or checking others what they are doing. So we are not doing the social side of our social media. So what's the purpose? Just to drop the content out there and that's it. And to get some automatic upvotes or whatever. That's silly. There is nothing social regarding that. If we compare ourselves with YouTube or some other Reddit or some other social media, we just have to say that we are better than them. We can support others directly through uploading with our high power. So if our high power is bigger, our upload is bigger. We can support others more. and it works in both directions. I saw people complaining a lot how they don't get upwards on their posts. My question for them is always, do you upvote others? And with how big upvotes are you doing it? So why would somebody else, why do you expect something from else to do if you are not doing it? So, show by example. Do it yourself. Create content, support others. Leave a comment here and there. People like to see humans replying. I don't know what to do with the AI content, and I see it. It's just ridiculous. When I see your AI comment on my post, I just skip it. What's, what's, what's the purpose of my reply on AI content? if I can't have any connections with the other account on any level. Maybe one day it will be completely seemingly, so we will not know which one is AI, which one is not. But nowadays, if I can choose to talk with a human or with a robot, I would rather talk with a human. So that's all for today. Let me know, what are you thinking about? What are your thoughts about this? What is your approach? And I hope that I will continue creating these videos. See you next time. Bye-bye.

@tibfox: Huge topics, I dont have real answers but some thoughts lol I understand and fully agree with you that we should have more coverage about Hive, what it is about and why Hive Power has such a big value in our ecosystem. But on the other hand we need to face reality and see what new people are used to know and most importantly what they want to know. A few years ago it was more common that you search for content and try to understand new things. Today people get fed with content they could like and these are typically not economics or highly technical things. I know how it felt to be new here and trying to understand Hive and I almost gave up. It was hard to understand all the bits of Hive and this is not different today. But the times have changed in the meantime. Today people want to get content served for them that is about what they already know or in what they are interested in already. If we really want to break the barrier between crypto enthusiasts and the mainstream we need to face that. If it is a good thing that Hive wants to attract "normies" is another topic but I personally see a big chance in that audience. Post and run has been a thing forever but now it is much more normal to do this and we can not do anything about that unfortunately. People who really want to grow on a platform will always engage with others, the rest will be the mass that consumes and from time to time publishes some content you will never see because they never interacted with you ^^ Big topic without any real solution like you said: We all should lead with good example :P replied to 8:16 on 3speak.tv
@donyabhuding12: Many remain clueless about Hive. Creating content explaining the basics of Hive is really useful for those who want to explore what the chain is all about.
@enraizar: Good morning, @ph1102 . You’re absolutely right—there aren’t many posts about Hive. The ones that do exist—I’m not sure if there are many or few—focus on the technical aspects: how to create an account, how to write a post, how to upload a video to 3Speak, and so on. But there are very few posts that explain the community aspect of Hive. The text raises a discussion and highlights various responsibilities that I find very interesting. Regarding what you’ve brought up, the only nuance or point I’ve noticed since joining Hive is how difficult it is to build truly genuine relationships. You mention how some Hivers complain about the few rewards they receive (if I’ve understood correctly), and it’s true that if you don’t interact, you shouldn’t expect anyone’s attention. Although at the same time, good rewards don’t come from simply being active on Hive, but from being active and interacting with the right people… at least that’s my take on it. I think I’ve explained this before: in life and on Hive, the greatest treasure is the good people we happen to meet… Maybe the problem is that this is hard to understand… Here’s my little reflection. Thank you very much for a post like this. I hope you’re having a wonderful day.
@dobro2020: hive has a lot of things to do and its awesome but i am so lazy and sometimes i feeling sad without energy :()
@relf87: Wow I enjoyed this reflection/sharing of yours! Like you mentioned, I agree with the reciprocity factor when it comes to interaction on Hive. It's actually not much different with friendships and relationships in real life. People who are entitled and just want to be one sided taker just don't go far, in life or on Hive. Having been on Hive for 5 years, I don't have any secret recipe, votes come and go, people come and go too, it's just my little hobby where I get to read interesting content and know a little bit more about crypto and what's happening in other parts of the world. :)
@josediccus: Yeah, a YouTuber or a general social media users is different from a Hive User, because the blockchain is more community oriented, so basically sometimes it's important to understand that people are different. Sad reality with the account you talked about, but I hope we don't have a lot of people with that mindset.
@battleground4455: Though I am just recently active on Hive, I don't see much of the video content on threespeak, it's good to have yours, kind of a motivation. replied to 2:15 on 3speak.tv
@por500bolos: We need more "role models" among Hivians that those newbies can follow... Well mate, in summary and basically as you've already said throughout the entire video. We don't think that lately and from some time now, there are truly many Hivians on Hive left whom we can really call role models.
@achim03: Good point about content about hive... This was my strong suit back in the days. It's true that a tiredness settled that prevents me from posting outside of liotes lately. Maybe we should all kick each other in the but and think less about big projects and do some posting ; )
@stresskiller: hmm more content, if only i could motivate myself to get out there again and make photos ...
@bitterirony: Thanks for this post @ph1102 ! We definitely need more content on basic Hive economics like how to convert Hive and HBD to and from fiat and how upvotes benefit the voter and the voted. And then there are bonus features like SBI that are really cool but a Newbie wouldn’t know about them.
@jimmy.adames: I have to check out videos again on @threespeak before I stepped away from the blockchain I was aware of them working on it and it was getting better everyday, so I can imagine it's as optimal as ever now. I also uploaded a few videos back in the day, but not sure if I am going to do much of that now that I'm back on HIVE, but it's great to know the platform is alive and kickin'
@ekads: Wow, this is a really interesting discussion. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have even realized that there are so few posts discussing HIVE these days. This sounds like a great idea for my next post. Regarding comments, I agree with what you’ve said. Lately, I’ve noticed that most Hivians just post, post, and post, without ever leaving comments on other people’s posts. It’s even more unfortunate that some accounts never respond to comments left on their own posts. replied to 8:34 on 3speak.tv
@seckorama: You're right. 3Speak.tv works smoothly and opens up new areas of interest 😎
@enraizar: Good evening, @ph1102. I didn’t really understand much of the video—I couldn’t find the translation button—but it will still be very nice to see you once a week... I don’t think you were wearing shorts today... and, of course, I’m not a robot (I think 🤔). Have a great night!! 😊 replied to 1:52 on 3speak.tv
