I think a lot of the people that would like to be on Hive Block Chain in a social manner suffer from Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to leaving FB and YT. Both those platforms have a lot of people that feel they are being censored, blacklisted, and shadow banned. SO they change their names and go back to the people that banned, blocked or censored them and rant and rave a cry and whine, all the while lining their oppressors pockets with more ad revenue.

We have all seen so called YT heroes and FB warriors come to Hive and then rapidly leave and return to the other sites, because they did not get votes or follows or comments. Follows, that seems to be a big big issue with them, and I for one just do not get it. I ahve those I follow, but I do not follow hundreds, (okay well 202), people want to be able to see stuff from those they like easily. 

YT, FB evidently only give you an option to follow people, not to really assign them to categories, (at least that is my understanding since I do not use either). With peakd I can categorize people and content. Like: 
![list.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/23tvAehg5dzHeKLqL6jekGKsrKRMf3prVeXSLvpoSxhqUikEHP8QdFL34WnAYUZz9AfEL.png)
I love the list function. I will vote and look at YT/FB people on Hive, but if they don't interact with at least a few others, then I stop. It is that simple. YT/FB they may be one-way streets, but on Hive we are two way streets and even sometimes multi-lane highways. (those post that get a gazillion comments).

I kind of feel like I am missing the ball by not going into DeFi harder than I have.  I am just worried about missing out on something big or putting my money into the wrong thing and ending up being sorry down the road.  It would be nice if I could just get a little bit of profit that I am not worried about losing.  I guess all I can do now is just keep plugging away on Hive and Leo!

I wonder if many struggle with the traditional thought of content ownership and ability to create sticky content that generates eyes and income for much longer than 7 days.

Does having such a short window either push creators to also publishing on the same content on their own sites if they are big enough. I am thinking more along the lines of someone with a following created the traditional model who also participates on here, and engages, but is cross posting from their own platform. I get why it might not have maximum HIVE value - but always want to show those creators that  in time they can shift and leave the old world behind. 

Personally, I tried the website route once, I sucked at it, I spend 90% of the time trying to build the site and 10% creating content, it was all backwards and never looked like I wanted. I am focusing on this new way of building a following and building my community here.

I think there is no easy money, whoever is doing 10X or 100X with their money has invested considerable amount of time studying it. If you do not play the game well like learning then you are gonna lose. Similarly out here we are investing our time as well as creating value and that helps us to earn some money out of it.

Great post @tarazkp , I think its important that we all get friends who can create good content on to the platform:)

That is the thing that is often forgotten about the link droppers or referrals to other pages type of content *'creators'* no one is saying you shouldn't do it but we are saying that that kind of thing doesn't necessarily inspire  rewards to be allocated. Especially when the provider of said content actively doesnt engage in building or forging any types of relationships just stacking the tokens then selling them off. Parasitical in nature.

Unfortunately, people appreciate value for money
If something A equals 10 dollars
And a B thing is equal to 100 dollars
So, B is the highest value
Yes, we have excellent and valuable content, but unfortunately it is not appreciated

tengo como un mes que estoy invirtiendo en crptimonedas no es mucho pero llevo alguito ahorrado el detalle es que no se mucho sobre su comportamiento, ni se como poder comprar con esas que tengo otra criptomoneda

I think I'm doing it 'right' then! My content is here, and all my other socials (insta/twitter/fb links) push to my content that can really only be found on HIVE. This is the one and only repository for most of my ttrpg content and I plan to keep it that way while also pushing my friends and family to jump in and start HIVE-ing as well.

It's an interesting one, we embed pretty much every post with youtube, now maybe we should be using a hive based dapp, but the truth of the matter is manufacturers use YT and know there's a good proportion of their target audience on there, and we have our audience on here who support us and we support. Value in content, you have to be able to separate seeing what it offers and whether you like it - a bit like us reviewing a car. You see it for what it is regardless of whether it's got a hard plastic where it should be soft,  adding external content has it's place - external link or embed but it must not be literally 1 line and a link and from an account that doesn't add value or participate in the community. Great read by the way, thank you

> who has the time?

Well there's a conspiracy theory that the unwashed masses need to be kept in a constant state of panic and crisis so they don't have time to think about anything worthwhile as they'll be too busy desperately trying to keep their heads above water just surviving, and after that looking for any form of distraction from their miserable worthless lives.  If they started thinking they might realise stuff is borked and fix it, and that would be an absolute tragedy to the 1% XD

I agree fully with your last paragraph!! (The rest also, but the last bit is to me the crux)

Four years ago, when Hive appeared, it was just about the only way to earn crypto without having to use your credit card, you could earn crypto just by adding value posting your content, or curating. 

Many joined this idea as a test, knowing very little or nothing about crypto and little by little started getting to understand all the possibilities of this amazing technology because they were willing to learn.
Some tested delegating to curators to get passive income with their voting power, others discovered they could use centralized exchanges to diversify their portfolio with their crypto earned by posting and they started to understand the real value of this new economy.

As the industry evolves, there are more and more financial and non-financial opportunities out there, like liquidity providing and farming, as well as NFT selling in all its formats (graphic, photo, voice, and video) but still, lazy people only try to find the get rich quick opportunity and many will suffer the consequences investing in scams.

I encourage most of the people who ask me about crypto to use Hive or any of the many games which offer you a way to enter this space instead of using their credit cards. Alien worlds WAX game offers you a free way to earn tokens and NFTs, sell them in the marketplace, exchange the game TLM tokens into WAX, and bridge those WAX into Ethereum to do some farming. It is not about the amount of money you can make posting into Hive, selling NFTs, or getting some gaming rewards, when you join. It is the learning of the space that after some months, gives you the competitive advantage to be able to generate crypto income or jump into crypto-financial opportunities understanding the risks and rules.

The learning curve is big, and not many are willing to spend the time to learn, I've spent hours helping many people before. Now, when someone approaches me just to try to get some easy money and not wanting to learn, I just suggest them to buy bitcoin and read some books and learn. I do not want to waste my time anymore.

I always remember something I read when I was learning how to trade. Would you trust a pilot when flying if he would have told you he had read a couple of piloting books before jumping into his first plane? same with anything in life, crypto is not an exception.
