RE: Hive With More Entertainment - The Adoption Secret
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The big problem with HIVE is its invisibility in internet searches. Honestly, when I joined about half a year ago, after about two days I thought I'd give up and go away. The huge lack of clarity, the complexity of the system, the inability to find anything, any guidance, the search box displays users or groups instead of the search term, Users would be enough if they
could find quick help and navigate quickly and efficiently.
They didn't have to do a complicated search for information on how
everything works on the different discords of each group. HIVE is
a bit too conservative. A little fun, plus the possibility of making a little money would only help HIVE.HIVE is absolutely invisible from outside the internet, thanks to the nonsensical search system. Plus when you add to that (I don't know the reason) that Google sees it as unoriginal.
You're right in that a lot of people crave some moderately "wild" way. Without the, often utterly stupid, media like Tik Tok, which is already cluttered with nonsense, less rule-bound environments like FB. It's just that even if, after a long search, one stumbles upon HIVE, one is met with a completely illogical, unfriendly system that is very hard to navigate and learn to use.
Simplicity, clarity, visibility, and broader options for content are what HIVE lacks.
True. Someone can write a good long read about why it's this way.
This is because different Hive front-ends display the same posts. After Google indexes a post on Hive.Blog or Ecency, it won't consider this post on Peakd or Waivio original.
Tik Tok can be highly entertaining but it is also the best definition of nonsense and bullshit. Hive has its own userbase, the audience, and we are different.
When I joined Steemit (before the fork) in 2019, I gave up in several days and never came back next 2 years :D But helping people to stay and attracting new people is a different topic.
I agree that the community on HIVE has its own specifics. However, I have heard complaints about low website traffic. It's just that this is achieved by
Neither of which HIVE unfortunately has.
Agree.
Front-ends must think about this. The code defines a lot in this question - must be light and SE-optimized. Alas, "blockchain" means slow loading of pages - Google dislikes this. As well as Google dislikes when frontends post not original content (as I said above, it's because all frontends generally post the same - clone posts).
Users are also in response:
All mentioned here, from the slow website to the titles - all these are different on Medium: it's a light quick website (one of the reasons, it's not a blockchain one) with people who do care about titles and all SE-optimization.
P.S. I noticed efforts in this direction on another Hive front-end, InLeo.io
There is still the user interface, a new user needs tutorials. He needs to find them easily. I'm sorry, but if I type wallet tutorial into the search box and this pops up, I don't get excited.
I'm also a photographer, no problem with the pictures, I don't need print quality or high resolution here. Photographers would definitely come, photobanks pay very little.
And the result is very uncertain. I might even bring some, but I don't dare to bring them. The main criterion today is the possibility to earn some money, the possibility is there. But when a new user hits this system, ninety-five people out of a hundred run away.
