NFTs are digital beanie babies... total garbage that add nothing to a blockchain or community. They are for investors chasing profits and hoping to sell to another investor chasing profits.
I agree with you that unnecessary complexity should be avoided. Strengthen our core, and develop additional features that add functionality to the platform without sacrificing our main ideals.

If Blurt looks anything like this in 2 - 3 years, we all win!!! 🏆
I literally jUst researched hives daily users and it’s 4k!!!! Facebook is 1.68 billion or something for comparison lol. I hve more fb friends than hive hS daily users and I don’t even try, I actively try to hVe less as my old one got to 6k so I started over to be more choosy. One viral instagrammer gets more likes than that per day. It’s absolutely dismal. I know blurt is worse but acrually it doesn’t take much to change anything. Literally one big influencer would bring more traffic than hive has altogether after 7 years. These blockchain platforms rlt rly need to re evaluate.
The other option is maybe they don’t want it that big! It’s easier to control an experiment small.
Yeah there are more FB accounts now than humans. Doesn't mean we want to be like FB. In fact, FB has been done, and a million have already tried to emulate that and failed. We would be attempt #1,000,001. FaceBook was at the right place and the right time... in 2006. Kind of like how MySpace was the right thing for 2001. Now both are washed up and people are looking for something better. We should do what FB is NOT doing, and aim to be the thing everybody has been waiting for. Star personalities and regular users will move when there's something worth moving to. The main thing FB did right that we don't have is messages.
1.6 billion is ppl logging in every day not accounts, hive has failed completely I realise this, to be getting a few thousand ppl login every day after 7 years is pathetic. I rly never knew hive was that low. Midjourney is really new and I bet it gets more daily users already. One successful influencer gets 200 k likes a day or some bullshit and the majority on hive, about 2 out of 3 users, are playing a game made by someone else. It’s most likely Only 1k ppl actually log in to blog, you could know everyone lol . Hive has less active daily bloggers than I do Facebook friends just to highlight how crazy low the numbers are and I don't even try and get any fb friends, I have 860 friend requests I am ignoring. I rly never knew it was that low till I researched. I’m not saying they need to be like fb but they are clearly just not appealing to ppl and it’s tIme the ppl who can change things accepted that and worked at it. Unless any of these blogs do something to make them more appealing I don't see them going anywhere at all tbh.
You're not really reading/understanding my comments... Not sure what the problem is.
I’mSaying, sure you want to be different to fb but they do need more users so it is silly to ignore the two most successful platforms that do the most similar to what you do and not look at what they did. I’m trying to put the numbers into perspective of how few ppl 4,000, (I honestly had no idea it was so low over on hive till I researched) , when mainstream versions have 1.6 billion active daily users. 4,000 isn’t even the interaction one fairly low grade Instagram influencer gets. If blurt wants to do well it has to look at this. I used to think it was miles off hive tbh but now I realise that one influencer could essentially make blurt MORE popular than hive. It’s made me think @world-travel-pro s open reach programme is a good idea to try and get some influencers on here and pay them / reward them. Along with an inbox which I elt tbink is missing.
My point is they are all failing. It’s not like any of them have ever gotten any kind of proper figures in 7 years so what are they doing wrong? That’s the areas where blurt can grow.
I think blurt should be the first to get inbox ppl love inboxing. Having it all on seperate servers is even behind MySpace which was like 15 years ago now
I think nfts have a use. They are good for in games and for digital artists who genuinely create moving digital art and don’t have other market places. The fact we all pile in is purely money. You don’t rly own anything, once it’s an nft anyone can drag it off full res and print it for free so your relying on someone buying it simply because they think ownnjnt the digital rights might go up in value. I notice a lot of artists who love it and say it helped them just couldn’t Sell work in the real world but are good online so they sold some nfts. I mean that’s fine but they should be honest that’s it was the easiest route for them not a pfefernce on the most part.
Yeah, the makers of beanie babies were happy about their invention for a while too. It really made them rich for a flash in the pan. Dutch tulip bulb growers a few hundred years ago were really happy about their idea, but who cares about that now. Even scam artists are happy about making money on what they're selling, doesn't mean the scam is really worth anything. Digital rights are fine, but JPG faces that only differ from each other by a pixel or two are pointless gimmicks. We can have digital rights without childish images and the "they are unique so I gotta collect 'em all" hype mindset.
