How Valuable is your Socialmedia "like"? - Mine is approaching $5 on Hive and Hive-engine Outposts

User engagement has been the greatest feature of social media. Yeah, allowing people around the world top connect and going deeper, express themselves is one of the greatest innovation of all time. Today, social media acceptance has become a basis for measuring one's social power. Many have taken to social media for political campaign and product advertisement and marketing. All of these functions take advantage of the "engagement" features that are available on socialmeidia. From "like" to "share" to "comments count" and more, each engagement tool contributes to the influence of a user.

Today, celebrities in the entertainment industry - movies, comedy, sports, music, business class, politicians and others have maximized social media to their biggest advantage yielding a huge fan page to boost their career and thus be able to deal with the social media owners for cuts. One asked a question if celebrities would ever have their relevance outside socialmedia and the answer is a "no".

Hive, being a web 3 socialmedia which allows for tokenization of its communities and social activities helps its users to draw economic value from their social engagement strengths. Interestingly, @Hivebuzz has a record that I have given out 34,547 upvotes since I joined Hive. That's an incredible number but not yet as much as I have done on Facebook and on Twitter.

My upvotes on Hive both on the main chain and the second layer outpost communities carry weight and value that benefits other users I engage as well as benefits me. Hivebuzz records that my curation rewards from the upvotes I've given to other users on the blockchain is as much as 543 HIVE ($927 in today's exchange rates) on the main chain and over $3,000 on the second layer tokens - LEO, SPORTS, CTP, POB, ONEUP, LIST, according to Hivestats.

Often, many argue because they are ignorant that our likes given to users on web 2 socialmedia like Facebook and Twitter is what actuially makes their owners rich and their users poor. However, "likes' on Hive and community outposts makes everyone rich - both the liker and the likee. This means that our "likes" here do not just convey social love, it adds monetary love.

Some months ago, I shared the thoughts that the poor masses are actually the ones that are pooling their resources (data and time) to make the big guys there rich. This is because they pool their follow and their likes into millions which help the celebrities to earn their millions while they poor fans just spend their time and data for nothing in return.

social media usage benefits two sets of personalities: the owners and the "big" accounts with millions of fans and followers. The poor masses who actually contribute their "mite" and pool them together to feed the celebrities and elites as well as make way for huge returns to the owners of the socialmedia, are left poorer.

It's time we keep communicating the shift in paradigm to help the many ignorant folks out there to understand better. In this post, I shared how my second layer tokens staked are worth about $4.4 in upvote. Presently, below is a breakdown of the value I give and get with my socialmedia "like".

This is the beginning of the grand of things to happen. Hive communities are shaping up and things gets better on the long run. Fast forward into Six months from, my upvote value should be worth about $10 if not more in a single 100% VP. Tokenized communities is the future of socialmedia and those who have realized this are on their way to making the most of the socialmedia revolution. Technology innovation was not just to favour a select few but for everyone who uses it. Web 2.0 socialmedia users are yet to know this but we on Hive do. It can only get better and we'll keep sharing the testimonials.

Yeah, consistency is what heals it all. Discipline yourself to keep showing up. The earnings come from authorship.

Great way of seeing things by cumullating your vote from all communities at once. Still, one needs to use all tags probably to get them all and not sure those communities are common. But what is clear is the real value of Hive and second layer tokens from here.

Indeed, the value is massive. The conception of the second layer would have been the biggest development of this blockchain. The second layer tokens provide a platform for all users to despite of financial standing to be able to contribute value.
