RE: Browsing STEM Topics Expectation vs Reality.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
"When people go to this site, I imagine them not really looking for research journals but STEM topics that are chill to understand and burn some time."
You're right... I should say that first. But you got me thinking about the remote possibility of attracting actual clinicians and researchers (like yourself) to this platform. I think I've heard the idea thrown around before, but is there a way to make posts EVERGREEN if they meet certain criteria. So they could be upvoted after the 7-day mark... and a more robust cataloguing system could maybe be built so we can reference this more important stuff.
Just thinking out loud. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)

The problem with sharing content done by professionals on the field here is how difficult it is to verify ideas especially when there is a lack of people to check on the content. I see math posts and programming posts thrown around but I can't see if there are any flaws as it's not my field.
I like the idea of using the blockchain tech to incentivize people in the STEM fields to post what they know and share info across borders as researches often get nothing to a small cut when their journals are published somewhere else. The reality is a lot fo researches made aren't being monetized by the people that made them due to having sponsors prohibiting that privilege or the researcher knowing less about how to market their research.
To onboard more professionals, it goes back to the core of getting more people interested in crypto as most just stick to their career and passively invest on traditional investment vehicles (the paycheck is secured especially for specialized degrees) so incentivizing them to post on Hive is a waste of their time when compared to working on their regular jobs at $ rates per hour. Overall, it's a steep battle and I don't see it changing anytime soon.
