RE: How to INCREASE HIVE-blogging/LEO-threads USAGE TREMENDOUSLY without Marketing - integrate Music platform(s)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Now you mentioned it, I vaguely remember something, though can't seem to recollect anything anymore regarding what it really did.
In general, I have an 'issue' with the idea of: "Let's create our own knowledge database for movies and music"... or for whatever other data type that is already out in the field and publicly available.
In essence, this is not a problem, the idea may be nice, but the question is: "Who will make use of the data held by such a database when IMDB and Roten Tomatoes are out there for movies? When Discogs, Spotify, TIDAL, Apple Music etc are out there for music?"
Hardly any user is interested in using services with incomplete data when services with more or less complete data are around, and free of charge. One needs to have a well-thought-out plan to fill a new database with the same/similar information for users to actually start using the data and/or the services around such data.
When such a plan isn't there, just trying to fill a database with data, data that is already available in other publicly accessible databases, is a useless exercise and millions of hours of wasted human time. I've seen too many attempts already which all failed after peeps already spent tons of time.
And even when we get a great setup for a new music or movie service, with its own database filled with enough data to be relevant for a large audience, the challenge still remains: "How to attract such an audience?"
Anyway, I think you already got my point before I wrote this comment 😉 Rendering this comment into the category of useless human time spent 😂😂😂
Ah... Now you killed the whole conversation... 😃
So, in your theory, if we have McDonald's, there is no point in opening Burger King? 😜
I do agree that there is no point in copying/pasting things, but there are still some valid ideas out there that are worth doing... On the other side, I do like your idea of "slow integration" and adding small bits of Web3 to traditional Web3 platforms... The first step is to go under their skin and slowly take over... :)
😃
Hahahaha I knew it, I needed to write even longer comments than I already do.
For sure there is room for Burger King next to McDonalds. There is even room for 10+ others. However, each new burger chain (App, dApp, Service) has to do something the others don't do, more or less (even true copycats can become successful but eg undercutting price with the direct result margins under pressure with the direct need to capture a larger part of the market quickly t be able to survive). Plus, and this is the most important part, when (more or less) copy/pasting, one needs to have DEEP pockets to rollout. The DEEP pockets are what none of the HIVE-based dev teams have. None. Well, in the entire crypto space, only a few have deep pockets, the rest doesn't.
I took the liberty to change the second web3 in the sentence to web2, since that is what I think you meant. My reaction to your comment: You understand what I am trying to say indeed! 🙇
