Is it time to Dumb Down Hive? - IAAC day 80

Hello everyone,

Is it time to Dumb Down Hive? Whatttttt? What am I talking about this morning? I need some stats! I need someone to give me info where I can see how many people are on Hive, how many people join/onbaord everyday. How many people are active.

There is always this big push, and there should be, to grow our communities and grow Hive. But I been scratching my head wondering, thinking there got to be a easier way for people to use Hive.

I am here because I am a "computer geek". Always have been. I love learning. I got a degree in web development, been using computers for 40 years and there are items about being on the block chain that still make me scratch my head. So what about the average person that is just, dare I say it, Facebook type user?

Is not Hive Social Media? Can it not be compared to a better Facebook here you get paid to post and upvote people? Am I out to lunch here?

That is the question. How do we get Joe Blow over to Hive? How do we make it easy? I really don't know. That is why I am throwing this post out there.

One problem I have always found in life is that when people start something, and it is with like minded people, a lot of other people get left out.

So it is my humble opinion that some way, some how, Hive needs to be dumbed down for the average, log into facebook, read a couple posts, see pics of their grandkids, pets, complain to the world about their day, share memes type of people. Rather than the teckno savvy way it is now. Or maybe different techno levels for different types of people.

Just throwing it out there!

And for us tech savvy people please consider joining the Curation Trail.

Hoping to get a lot of feedback here!

Nice post and thoughts Bradley, I am not sure if dumbed down is the right word, but definitely easier to use, and the fact is I think PeakD is making great progress in that direction while also having lots of options for power users, if we look at Hive.blog it's usually lacking a lot of features while still not being simple and at the same time just being awful to use on mobile, PeakD is the way forward I think.

I have to agree, so simpler interface may be the way to go. Yes indeed.

I love it, yeah dumb it down, especially for lions cause you know our attention span isn't very ... hey what's that moving over there.
Um, sorry I was going to say just the password stuff for all this Hive and Steem is hard to understand, and peakd is even more confusing.
Don't try to make instructions, please, I won't understand those either.

I guess I would like it to be easier to explain to be able to on board more people who are used to FB. I just think that telling them they could get paid for sharing their passions should be enough to entice them but my issue is how to do that without getting in trouble with the FB gods. I mean I love the idea that I can put links in my posts and my account won't get shut down. That's awesome right there. There is a difference between adding relevant links in your content and spamming your products all over the place.

Idk, it’s crazy but I think we just need to somehow get better at explaining hive to people outside of hive. I honestly don’t think the platform is too difficult for people to understand once they use it. The problem is, at the moment, we have to get them onto the platform and use it before they understand what’s going on.

I’ve been on the platform for a while now, and it sounds crazy, but hive is easier to explain to people in 2020 than it was 2 years ago. A lot more people have been exposed to similar technologies and it seems people are starting to understand Btc too which makes this easier to understand.

But yeah, this stuff is still pretty new. somebody’s always working on tools to make the experience easier but we’ve gotta wait a lot of that out unfortunately.
