I think it should be done on a slightly different way. Hivesteem has been going for years and it still has a tiny base despite giving away free money to use it. Clearly it’s too complicated for most ppl who either don’t sign up or give up after 2/3 posts. It simply has terrible retention, all these platforms have, despite essentially paying ppl to use them lol. For whatever reason to most ppl it’s not engaging enough or isn’t appealing enough. The majority of hive users now are splinterland players. Ppl need to look more to fb as even tho o agree with @frot that all these things are cia experiments there was obviously something far more appealing about MySpace and fb than there has ever been about hive. They were designed to be addictive let’s be honest. I think perhaps ppl need to look for clues on MySpace and early fb to see where these platforms are going wrong. Even doge got more mainstream adoption than hive or steemit ever got... it was simple : I think games should be more like on fb where they are on separate pages and don’t get posted on your actual blog and I think the inclusion of an inbox rather than having to go over to discord would make all The difference actually. Ppl love moving things to messenger and not all on the blog. It also needs more engaging discussion than just nice post sir lol blurt is better at this than any I hVe been on.

People are just not interested I’ve sold it to hundreds or more creatives over my time who would love to make extra money and they either don’t sign up or made a few posts and left: my bf loves conspiracies and always on twitter etc yet came here and left within a few posts as just forgets to sign in. It’s just not compelling enough at some point we hAbe to stop blaming ppl for not staying and wonder why all these sites are not as interesting to ppl as other sites, even when they are being paid to use them.
