> I guess Hive needs to work on marketing. Hive I believe is an undervalued platform but the platform lacks a good exposure and for exposure efforts are required to promote the platform to the rest of the crypto world and internet users in general.

Hive as a blockchain has many platforms that might be difficult to explain as 'one solid thing'. There's the Blog aspect, the Communities, Microblogs, Video services, Livestreaming, Photography, and much more. As participants in the blockchain we are all able to 'promote' Hive with referrals and to showcase what aspect of the blockchain we use and what it means to be apart of this ecosystem.

Introducing others to Hive shouldn't be a mass induction but instead a quality establishment of what participating on the Hive Blockchain could mean to an individual. This post has great information and could be a point of introduction to others who are unfamiliar with the space/concept. 

Thank you for bringing up your thoughts and concerns! It's important that this subject be discussed frequently and often to generate new ideas to introduce more quality participants onto the Hive Ecosystem.

No doubt, downvotes is a healthy thing to the ecosystem.

Steemit is full of shit.
How much  you can get there if you can not read Korean,Japanese, Chinese?


Just my 2 satoshis...

marketing is super important. my idea is to become an ambassador yourself to promote your favorite projects and communities in web3 to web2 and dont hire anyone unless you have the funding for it yourself. this way you are always improving yourself and building the blockchain space :)

You do know that Hive is a hardfork from Steem, right?

So, Steem came first and had a huge SEO on Google before there was a hostile takeover. This lead to a hardfork which split the community.

Most of the community shifted to Hive.
Splinterlands was once known as Steem Monsters and shift to Hive exclusively too.

I have accounts on both but I am locked out of Steem and I refuse to jump through hops to get back what was stolen from me.

There are plenty of advertising campaigns and community activities and sponsorships from the Hive community.

It will take a while for Hive to generate a good SEO on Google again, possibly years.

But trust always takes time. 

You are correct, we need to show more proof of concept, usecase and that requires showing that we can make a decent living with Hive.

The traffic here I believe is only for hive.blog it doesn't take into account other frontend which are used like inleo.io or peakds or even splinterlands if you want to take gaming into account.
