How Much Incentives do You Need?

![pug801826_640.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wPNA4LO.jpg)

There are some interesting statistics being rolled out by @demotruk about hive user retention and activity that I encourage everyone to read. Basically, Hive is much easier to break into compared to steem days as a newbie, but we're still far off from realizing our potential.

There is still an issue with onboarding and user retention till this day. It makes me wonder why people find the place distasteful and leave. Sure, Hive isn't for everyone, but am pretty sure there is an investment offering that could suit the demands of practically everyone here on Hive.

Take for instance those who leave and go back to regular mainstream social media. Even when there are no financial benefits, many still prefer to spend their time on twitter, Instagram and tiktok rather than an incentivized alternative like Hive. It means that the 'benefits' must in some way exceed what is being offered on Hive.

In some way I can understand that. It can come in the form of dopamine rewards when one receives a fair amount of likes for their posts. It can also some in the safety of the environment when you have a general platform used by familiars and famous people from all over the World. Some people take the entertainment value over the monetary value.

That isn't to say Hive isn't very entertaining. However as @demotruk stats said, if you've been here and active in the form a long time you're likely to remain and keep being active. This is because the entertainment value unrolls itself in my view gradually along the line. Of course you can also be Fortunate to start out with something you enjoy like gaming (spliterlands) or if blogging is a passion, but that doesn't mean it carries entertainment value for everyone.

Another reason many may be turned off is that they find the initial rewards presented too small. A few cents gathered everyday means nothing to most people and they abandon the platform altogether. These people are usually lured into the platform and have overly high expectations about what the platform actually offers.

The fact that we are able to get any financial incentives as ordinary users is revolutionary on its own. If you compound whatever you get now over 5 years it is going to be worth a substantial amount by then. This is not also accounting for increases in growth and development over that period.

Should prices skyrocket again we'd see more People coming in. Should any of our third party applications boom we'd also see the same. Those who are here already know the benefits and need no further incentives. Perhaps we'd get there too with new users someday.

Ultimately if our network is to be sustainable, it can't be about author rewards for everyone. After all, someone needs to *pay*. However I do think that new users being able to break in and make rewards, rather than finding an impenetrable wall of established users, is a key component to retention.

It is pretty creepy the way everyone is ignoring what is happening to me and still going to Hivefest. Lay the dirty snatches out why dont ya. Fake it all you want creeps, its so obvious the blind eye you are turning. @fyrstikken told me what V2K and RNM was before they turned it on for me. Around that time he introduced me to @roelandp . I still have the emails between myself and @roelandp . This chain is centralized by design and @fyrstikken helped set it all up to fuck everyone, one by one, slowly into my situation. This is no joke you dumb mother fuckers, they shock you to your thoughts..... Hello????? It is in store for everyone you fools and your helping. Voices pulsed in your head and shocks to your thoughts??? Ignore me and help fuck innocent people for life? @roelandp and other top witnesses I know are involved with @fyrstikken.. Wait until people find out you conspired to enslave them with this shit. I am not crazy and you know it. they are doing this shit to me and told me what it mother fucking was BEFORE THEY TURNED IT ON! Your acting like naive children or maybe you are just part of the problem? You look like sociopaths. Everyone should unplug from HIVE until they are caught, .your. celebrating and ignoring my obvious, you look like fools. You know who is doing it....they are trying to kill me with it. The Havana Syndrome is real too you slave trading V2K, RNM enabling fuckers. Arrogantly play ignorant you Creeps, your setting the table for trafficking and total enslavement. I did not know I was circumvented until a year after I was?..People here will be nice until it?s too late. There is no way to stop it once they have you. Grow the fuck up, this is not aliens, gods, celebrities or a medicate-able mental concern. It is 100% electronic and beast as fuck. You do not want this shit. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

RE: How Much Incentives do You Need?

Prices skyrocketing isn't good retention. I believe people would see beyond social media one day, because Hive offers a lot better, we just need to be in the limelight for this recognition to happen. When people come for the money alone, they leave quicker, their mindset prevents personal retention. Web2 is like a drug addiction.

RE: How Much Incentives do You Need?

It's hard to compare HIVE with, for example, Facebook and it's not the problem with incentives, it's more a problem of adoption... It's easier to "join a pack" on Facebook as "everyone" is there, than invite your friends to HIVE and create your "wolf pack" here... 

Also, the problem is that a lot of people see HIVE as an earning platform, or a job, and not a place for connecting with others... You can notice that by "robot comments", or copy/paste posts just to "milk the system" and not to create bonds and new connections...
