You know what's the reason crypto based social networks don't succeed? Because it's full of crypto people! No offense but how you want to adopt a newbie to replace these platforms with FB and Twitter when ...
People choose social media based on what their peers that they follow as authority use.
Or promote it as UNCENSORABLE.... that's a huge problem these days. Censorship. YouTube, twitter, google, blah blah. That's what I like about MEMO.... Its permanent
memo and member can be both censored, although it's still better than mainstream social media. Otherwise, the avg person does not care about censorship.
Member cannot be censored as easily as Memo.
That's good to have but there's no point of censorship resistance when it's unusable for majority.
the only thing they are exposed to is fights over block rewards or inferior technical terms. They just think it's not for them
Be the change that you want to see. Talk about retarded stuff like celebs and sports. :)
I think you didn't really get what I'm saying, I proposed the solution which is with selective moderation filters (Member) to build different types of platforms on the same protocol.
I was joking. moderation/filters are not the solutions. These platforms are so shit (lack very basic features) that not many people stay for long. The problem is its network effect.
What if someone wants to create a social network for travelers on top of memo? They can use the topic to filter out but everyone still can post any nonsense on their topic
Why would a traveller normie go on memo instead of creating a farcebook group where all the other serfs are registered anyways?
Obviously to monetize its content. There used to be many on Steemit until toxic community took over
Otherwise the average person likes (even demands) censorship...
I'm hopeful with member's moderation protocol we can separate these discussions from the users which just need a social network with the possibility of earning from it.
I'm not sure. Why should a normie use Memo or member instead of Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, Instagram, Discord or Twitter? The competition is huge. The main advantage is some satoshis
they can earn. Is that enough?
bc I can't get banned if some furious horny troll wants me suspended bc I said i don't need his shrinking dick & 2 break his legs if he tries smth. NO IDEA why I like memo better!
Yes, these are also great advantages, but the competition is very strong. It's very difficult to compete against corporations.
Moment they find out that they HAVE to pay & that it's not free to pour million usually meaningless statuses daily like they used on other websites, they pronounced it "waste of time"
Look at DuckDuckGo. Everyone called them stupid because they wanted to compete in search engine industry just with the idea of privacy. They are doing great!
People can now already post YouTube videos on memo or member and link to memo or member on YouTube. Why does that not happen?
Because it's not convenient and community is small so payout doesn't worth it
The community is small so payout doesn't worth it. The payout doesn't worth it so the community is small. It's a vicious circle
Not sure what's your goal in this conversation. No one said it's easy
I have been trying for a long time to find out why memo usage is stagnating. And I don't think it is because it is dominated by crypto people.
I think it's because new users don't get enough attention. They post a few times. There is no little or no reaction from the users and they leave again. This happens all the time. I
That's because crypto people don't care about anything else than topics of their choosing. That's why I'm saying communities should be separated.
Community involvement is the key. In busy.org we had hundreds of non technical users filling up issues in our github or communicate with devs in discord. It's not the case here
Yeah, the memo/member community is not open enough. We only communicate with each other.
True, there's a reason community building is a word. It just doesn't grow organically, requires funding and attention
But also there's a problem of normal people being poor in BCH and not founded to give away tips to each others. Tokens can fix it but giving potential valuation to a system
have been observing it for a long time. I've been on Memo since the beginning.
More users would be cool, don't forget we have some users not saying anything, they are just observing.
Yeah, that might be true. But if they're not even "liking", I doubt they're even there.
Maybe @memo can shine some light with sharing his GA stats
ReadCash is for blogging and blogs are not decentralized, only wallets are. Those are completely different platforms. It's like comparing WordPress with Twitter.
I know, but you can compare the user traffic on similarweb. If the traffic is growing it's OK.
Or even Brave, making a browser that is better than Chrome and Firefox. Web has so many features that making browsers is expensive even for Microsoft. But they did and people liked it
I don't agree, I think it's fast evolving and by making a good community you can always attract people. Most users don't care about features, they care about being seen and ...
Not even the whole BCH community uses Memo or member. We have just over 100 users a day. Some may have multiple accounts.
UX is not very good and Memo is closed source which in my opinion is slowing dows its development. Even so, I believe there's a lot of unseen potential here to be utilized.
That's what I'm trying to do with SIGNUP.cash, making it possible for everyone to develop their own DApp over BCH and Memo protocol
I just read the main page. I like what you are doing with it. Great idea.... Can't wait to use it
Thanks, feel free to join the Telegram group for more discussions
using their time better. By better I mean giving them options to monetize it, that's the whole reason teenagers are into live streaming. They are seen and they make money!
