What about attracting groups that have relatively big followings but are considered undesirable by many. Anywhere from the biggest like Alex Jones to smaller content creators like Mark Collett, a British Nationalist, or even people that are against Zionism?
Mark Collett has 14K followers on Odysee.
Many of these types, like the GDL have people streaming from 8am until 2am with active audiences. Processing credit cards is always an issue for dissident voices.
My question is Hive vulnerable to Ddos attacks? Would the community shun people that are very tribal? Would others flee from Hive if a group of a few thousand sign up and are users on Hive?
Would it be a net negative?
Keep in mind groups that track these kind of groups would also sign up specifically to track them.
Whatever the community, whether desired or not, tends to fail in the pulling over. The challenge, from a social media perspective, is the fact their contacts are on the main sites. So even if the communities get zapped, the individual members tend not to.
This is why going after the network effect of users is failing. It is the same story with influencers. We played this song many times before.
Even if they show up here, what is there for the to utilize?
The main utilization would be the monetization of their live streams. Unfortunately, looking at Vimm, there seems to be no way to convert Gems into Hive or HBD or direct payment onto the card you use to purchase the Gem. Streaming is the main income for a few or a good supplemental income to finance their activism.
Income is one aspect. People also need to start thinking equity. That is the mindset of a business owner.
Agreed, even though I have put in about $2,500 in cash to buy Hive at an average of around $0.60 per Hive my current equity is about the same at the current price of $0.31. My guess on the next bull run Hive will top out somewhere between $7 to $15. Too me that is a good bit of equity. Next bull run is a way off IMHO but my guess is mid 2025 to 2026. No crystal ball here, just a hunch. I am just happy to be back on here adding to the community.
Could be. I agree no way to know when the bull will hit.
In the meantime we can add to the equity by building. Things like Music on Leo will add value to a platform like Leo. That should help the stake people have.
