RE: Your Chance To Get My Attention

in The Pub2 days ago (edited)

I hope i have not offended. Certainly not my intention. I think my second comment starts by agreeing and in a broad way covers both your points here.
I guess its more about me wondering if this consistency and survival game is an effective way to grow a chain and foster retention.
I dont know the answer, but my brain scrambles for solutions.
I dream of some way to catch those who come only to extract, some sort of code trap that catches them quicker, allowing the chain to distinguish the real people, who just come out of curiosity and potential interest..but arrive to feeling overwhelmed/confused/lost/unseen...there are many that fall through this gap... they aren't so concerned about the money but just arrive to a sense of void and give up.
I'm not of the camp of saying...well good riddance. I feel its worth trying to find a way to give a sense of home to the more passive user too.

All that being said. I want to be clear. I'm not trying to harass you or this effort to support. Quite the opposite. I appreciate the effort and it makes a lot of sense why you chose those parameters. I'm genuinely interested in what profiles shake out as i will likely add them to my support list.

I have an appointment shortly, so I have to run, I'll reply to you later after reading your comment properly. You didn't offend me, just wanted to be clear of my position.

You have to distinguish between individual curators and projects, in this including projects funded through DHF.

But if you want to know how to fix retention, you need to look at the root of the problem, and that is onboarding. You need to see why people are joining and what's their intention.

As long as onboarding is focused on underdeveloped countries, where people are struggling to survive and would literally do anything for a penny or two, this is what you get. When the onboarder's strongest argument is "you can be financially rewarded", it's a lost case from the start as you're never going to get more than extractors and the only way you can retain these users is to feed them endlessly, regardless of their behavior. Stop voting them and they leave the next second. Simple as that.
