A project we take for granted sometimes...

avatar

There are many things in life that we take for granted. Those of us who are so fortunate that they don't have to struggle daily to make ends meet, take seemingly normal things for granted. like food, water, the clothes on our backs, etc...
We take it for granted that our roads are in a reasonable state to walk and drive on, and that our children can play in safe enough areas.
However, on the Hive platform, we also take things for granted. All the time.

In this post, I'd like to give some attention to a project that people seem to be taking for granted.
The funny thing is: it's quite popular actually.
Lots of content creators on Hive use it all the time!
And even more people talk about it on a daily basis!

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

But I think it's because of its popularity, that people seem to forget that it has real people working behind the scenes.
And these people work really hard, all the time, in order to keep things running smoothly so that we can all make use of it, as well as enjoy the works.

Which project, and what people am I talking about? Well, let's find out!

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Curious?

OK, I am talking about no other than 3Speak!
Both @theycallmedan and @starkerz are very active members of the Hive eco-system and community.
Not only are they both great guys, I know, I'm a bit biased but anyone who knows them, will tell you that it's true, but they'll be the first to support others wherever they can.
When I spoke to @theycallmedan about the translation project I was working on back in the Steemit times (which fell in the water due to the fork, unfortunately), he didn't hesitate to support this project.
And we're not even talking about all the work that's being done behind the scenes! I don't even know! It's all a bit too technical for me to be honest hehe but I do know that it's a hell of a job to keep things running smoothly. Somehow they managed to get an awesome team together to do all that.

Why do they do this? For us! So we can create our videos on a platform where we don't have to deal with shadow bans, censorship, removal of accounts, and all the other crap that would be the case if we'd be posting our work on YouTube...

And on top of this, even the little guy can get rewarded for their work. Not just the top people who have at least a certain number of followers.

I will give you a moment to think about this...
...............................................
Have you thought about it?
Yeah?
And do you think they give a lot to the Hive platform and its eco-system?

And to us in general, the community?

Yes, again?
Well, then I have a question for you...

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Why is it, that such a big name, who offers so much to us all, seems to have a hard time even making it into the Top 20 with their witness?

Now, let me first start by saying that I know that there are many other great witnesses.
And I am not saying that the Top 20 isn't important.
There are some great people/projects in there, some of which I also know personally. I'd support many of them in all they do.

But come on! 3Speak is on number 25...
Can't we do a bit better than that?

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Have you voted for your witnesses yet?

To those who didn't know this: It's important to do this.
Go to the witness page, read what everyone stands for, and vote for your 30 favorites. Hey, you don't even have to vote just for one.
That's not how it works here. You'll have the opportunity to include 30 names that you trust will always have your, and the community's best interest at heart.

For me, one of those 30 is 3Speak. How about you?
Maybe you've voted for 30 but not all of those are still active.
Or some aren't doing what you hoped they'd do.

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Now is the time to review your choices, and maybe switch things around.

For all the things these guys do, 3Speak deserves to move up a few places.
Read their Light Paper here.

Don't you agree?

┍━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━━━━♥♠♣♦━━━━━┑

Disclaimer: No one has asked me to write this. I have written this, purely because I see what they're producing, and how it helps us all. The community of Hive. You will also have to do your own due diligence when voting for the witnesses who you'd like to see represent the community. No one should tell you what to do. I am not asking for a vote for 3speak. I'm simply asking you to think about it, and review your votes. Thank you for reading all the way to here.

You're welcome! I think it needed to be said haha 😄.

Hope to see you at another Hivefest IRL!

I hope so too! Would be great to see you again. I'll try my best to make it to this next one if Roeland goes through with it in Europe. And otherwise we should just have one in Mexico! 😊

Yeah, I forget sometimes that a lot of people just don't really know these things.

I appreciate that you trust my judge of character!
And I know they will appreciate your vote.
They're great people, and Dan supports many individuals and projects, outside of his own.
If anyone is 100% Hivean, it's them.
