RE: I'm Curious About The StemGeeks Website On The Hive Blockchain

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

It most likely has to do with your hashtags, certain hashtags get you published in certain h-e token communities.
Are those posts also in your blog feed?

The ui simply pulls from the blockchain and shows posts according to their rules.
IF your posts falls within those rules, it gets printed to their feed.

Like I said, it is mostly abandonware at this point, but at some point it could be used as a filter for their type of content.
Look at the hashtags and see if you can spot a pattern.

I do spot a pattern. StemGeeks has only published human-interest articles of mine from my PEAKD channel, whereas they have published none of my controversial articles from my PEAKD channel. There is a feature on my StemGeeks channel that allows me to post additional articles; but if it is not a good idea for me to post any article of mine there that I have already posted on my PEAKD channel, then I guess I should leave well enough alone.

Can you link me to the posts that they used?

So, it appears that using the hashtags science and technology gets you posted on stemgeeks.
Which makes sense considering their topic, stem.

If you see value in acquiring more stem tokens, then you can post through their interface and earn more, iirc.
Your posts will still appear on your feed when posting through stemgeek's interface, so don't repeat them.

You will also earn stem tokens by powering them up and voting with them.
You can do this powering up in the peakd wallet.

So it is a restricted writing platform on the Hive blockchain that only allows for the publication of STEM-related articles.

Yes, it was once considered the elegant solution to separate everybody into their own niches, and this was one that persisted.
That it still pays tokens is a good sign.
Many of the others have stopped even that.

IF we ever get price recovery the masses will come back and it can be a thing again.
Until then it's just another desolate wasteland.
Victim of the management decisions that preceded it.

That's concerning, because that's the direction that HubPages eventually took insofar as many writers on that same writing platform began making the big bucks after the niche sites were created for it. Then the upper management of HubPages eventually eliminated the niche sites, and HubPages announced that it was going dark shortly thereafter.

If I had never published those three human-interest articles on my PEAKD channel, then I likely would have never discovered the existence of the StemGeeks writing platform. Not to say that the Hive blockchain will meet the same sad fate that HubPages did, because Hive fortunately doesn't use advertisers to pay their writers. However, it does raise a little bit of concern that niche sites were about to become a thing on the Hive blockchain as they did on HubPages, because they ultimately became a disaster on the HubPages writing platform.

Yeah, I told them that splitting us up wouldn't work out like they planned, but nobody listens to me.
They still try, plenty of 'communities' out there financed by 'whale largess' that all stakeholders contribute to.

You can't really compare hive to a traditional business.
Things are different here.
It looks like magi might actually deliver, at some point, and IF it does, then the appeal to do defi with hive will grow the chain's userbase like blogging hasn't been allowed to do.
The demand for liquid hbd should drive demand for hive, too.

I'll read that article you linked to the word "magi." That looks interesting.

Yes, if it fully comes to pass it will do wonders for the restivus.
