WHAT MAKES ME STAY IN SOCIAL MEDIA CRYPTOCURRENCY
What are the differences between social media cryptocurrency and general social media/
General social media is centralized account. Your account is control by a corporation. Your account in social media cryptocurrecy is controlled by yourself.
General social medias do not give you reward for doing activities. Social media cryptocurrency will reward you with tokens.
You can post as many as posts you want in minutes. In social cryptocurrency, you have interval time to posts.
You do not need write long words in general social media but in social media crypto, one word post is look like spam because most social crypto are publication.
The huge number of followers are the most motivation for social media influencers to do their activities. Power and level are the goal in social media cryptocurrency.
Let's discuss motivation to stay in social media cryptocurrency.
In general social media, money or earning of influencers come from advertising and endorsement. The income is based on the number of followers. The more number of followers the higher the income. Social media cryptocurrencies, do not rely on followers but on power and level. You can buy power and level to increase your curation earning.
In hive and steem, power is very important. The reward from curation depends on the power. Posters without power earn reward from vote. Voting from lower power though the account has large number of followers will be nothing to the reward. Posters like me with low power always expect for votes from whales ( name of one with high power). I may like a beggar, wkwkw.
In steem and hive most of my followers are new. I do not know them all before. It is different from my fb friends. My fb friends are my life friends. Do I really get social in hive and steem? I am not sure about that.
Talking about my motivation.
I decided to power down my steem power because recently, my posts do not get significant earning. I feel lost time to spend writing good and ori articles in steem. I prefer do some shit posts in steem. In hive, I still have expectation in leo community and projecthope. other communities are not significant for my reward. That is why most of my time and posts are in leo and projecthope.
Ori , shit and plagiarism are the same.
When I wrote ori posts, the reward is only 0.01 usd. wow that is amazing. finally, I do some shit posting and leave a platform in social cryptos.
I am sorry, I should be honest. I need reward from votes to do posting in steem and hive. I don't joke. I need money. I always use the reward for my daily needs. That's reality. I don't think to power up, even I power down my hive power because earning from hive curration is like picking dust. I try to invest in low and good future hive tokens. I hope my investment will make good money in the future. I am sorry to say this to leo community because posting in hive need energy, and time. I am also a contributor in a crypto publication. My every article is paid $10. I sometimes feel horrible when I see my $10 article value only worth $0.4 in hive. My story may be the same with other hive members. Alright, this is just my opinion you can like or dislike. thanksssss.

Interesting comparison between mainstream social media & platforms like HIVE. Just a few thoughts:
One, while we may have "real life" friends on FB etc, we can build relationships & engage with people on HIVE. When we comment on other posts with our thoughts & appreciation, it encourages us to connect with others, which has a domino effect. I have many "real life" friends here now & my life is definitely richer because of it.
Second, in my opinion, I don't waste time on Steem since it is not the same community as it was after the takeover. I powered my assets there & only post on HIVE now. While that is my own personal preference, I only focus on where the rewards are as well as the people. Anything short of that is a waste of my time. :)
And last, as you dig around more on the platform & keep showing up each day, you will see your rewards go up (as you are seeing). It takes consistency & also if you engage, it really helps open doors for you. It took me awhile to get bigger upvotes & make friends, but when people in the community see you are here for the long haul, rewards come in all forms :)
Thanks for writing this post. Wishing you much success! :)
I used to be active in hive and steem. Since the rewards on steem based on contest, I feel controled by others so I prefer on hive side chains like leo and ctp. I have more freedom and more rewarded in both
Oh yeah absolutely! Hive is a much more positive environment too. So you get rewarded for it so much more. Leo Finance definitely rocks. 🙌🔥💯
Mainstream social media sucks big time... and I'm trying to avoid them as much as I can... I find myself more relaxed when I spend a day without FB, YT and television... :)
Yeah, fb and twitter just to contact my friends not much time there
I'm not a fan of centralized social media other then to keep up with friends and family and draw people to the decentralized Hive blockchain. While payouts may not be what they used to be on steem I think in the long run they will come back around in time after building up Hive to more of its potential.
Hive gives more freedom of expression than steem
I only use traditional social media to speak with family and friends and youtube to check on a few YouTubers that I like and as free video storage to my program.
The only good thing Steem gave to me at the end was double up my Hive power lol It was good for me to start as a newbie at content creation but later on will all the soap story, Hive is my new home now!
I believe we can try to balance a bit of both sides, but I will tend to this side when there's too much drama on Facebook ahaha
Thanks for sharing :)
Yes you 're right, hive is now most my time I spend in social sharing
Nice job comparing centralized and decentralized social media. I prefer #hive and the decentralized apps because I actually get engagement on what I post. It's way more worth the time I invest. I use mainstream social media platforms to socialize with family and friends who are not doing online business. I can post on decentralized media what I would not want to post on mainstream social media.
I understand your how you feel, however here on hive if you're showing up everyday and even just voting and commenting your earnings will increase. When I was oh steem they prevented me from posting because I didn't have enough power and that was frustrating. But that all changed when I came to hive and started out with the same small power that I had on steem. I showed up everyday and they never stopped me from posting, commenting, or voting. Now I have power (still a little low) and I get to do all I want everyday without fail.
On the other hand I get great social interaction from my peers here and don't have a need for centralized social media. Plus being in affiliate marketing I found sites like facebook and instagram & so on to be over saturated and if you wern't already an influencer or had a huge following it was very difficult to grow there.
Good luck on your journey here on hive.
Nove post....
I rarely post on steem mow... but on hive yes daily... I don't remember when I posted last time of FB....
