RE: Are Programming Topics Relevant To Money & Finance?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Looks like you put this in about seven different tribes. Does it make sense to ask question about LEO, and put it in STEM? Nope. This isn't an article about programming specifically. It's an article about what goes where and why. I suggest many of you try harder and learn to stay on point.
I dunno. Shrugs.
People are placing personal blogs wherever they can fit them, then mention LEO and money a couple times, and apparently that's supposed to qualify. Saw a big Hive bashing post the other day, the at the bottom it turned into brownnosing LEO and CUB, which makes those two products look bad.
I don't know. It's not up to me. I visit some of these communities and all I see is praise for the communities. No real content. Just filler. Comes across as fake testimonials. Super annoying when you're a consumer and looking for a specific topic.
For the most part it seems people want to extract as much money as possible from each post.
I dunno. It's not up to me what people do.
Do you know or do you not know? Make up your mind. :)
While the motivation of the post was based on a specific event related to Leo, the question is put in general. Place of programming in finance can also be relevant to STEM. Why not?
I wouldn't mind putting in more tribes if they there is relevant place for them, and if they are welcome, and if front-ends allow it. It helps with discoverability and participation in these economies.
Maybe it is a bad habit and shouldn't be done. To quote you - "I don't know".
Not everybody has your creative writing skillz to stay on point. Thanks for the suggestion. I will try.

I don't know, because I know my opinion will have very little impact on how creators and curators go about doing their business.
When I'm filling the role of consumer, these things annoy me. If the store is a mess, the customers leave. People are putting milk in the beer cooler. How am I supposed to get drunk off milk? I drive all this way. Had a long day. I just want some beer. What the hell is this milk doing here? And where's the beer? Do I have to drive to the other store now? No wonder I drink...
I don't want to be a harsh critic. As a human, I respect you, you're very smart.
The early days of Tribes taught us a lot. People would mention tiny tidbits of everything they could think of, create a scrambled post, then scatter it all over the place, thinking they'd get rich. Then the Tribes began to crack down and get rid of some of the riffraff.
If I'm flipping through a STEM magazine, that's all I want to see. I can pick up the finance magazine. Okay there's a picture of a kitty and someone made a good trade. That's two minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Maybe I'm just grumpy today.

You make perfect sense. You present ideas, problems, and solutions to problems in an entertaining and educational manner that is easy to understand.
There was time I didn't use tribes front-ends or tribe tags at all. The reason I started using them was because of a simple idea of participating on Hive and people's recommendations. I started using neoxian, because I would interact with the community on discord. Then someone commented on one of my posts that it may be good fit on STEM. Then I started using that. Then someone else told me on Twitter to try Leofinance. I started using Leo. Then I saw CTP, etc.
I wouldn't want to participate if my content wasn't welcome in such spaces. In my view, I am just trying to participate and contribute. Not adding a tag is easier than adding.
What you describe makes perfect sense, and one day that probably will be the case and you will find your beer when you need it. That will require user-base growth on Hive and in the communities. With more onboarding and user-base growth, what may seem irrelevant will probably be sorted out of the view.
I know these things snowball, and sometimes one post can fit into many categories. But the creators with scrambled posts are not doing themselves any favors by creating a consumer nightmare. The Tribes exist and part of the reason is to increase exposure, plus make content easier to find. Turn the consumers away and the tribes become pointless. Then the tokens have to depend on tricks and gimmicks rather than consumers purchasing them in order to support quality work. The only way they seem to be driving traffic to their sites is by penalizing creators for not using their editors.
I've posted five times this year. Mostly I'm wandering the halls (just like I did in highschool) looking for something interesting to do. Find posts, enjoy conversations. I'm also a paying consumer. If the magazine is a mess, I see no reason to purchase tokens so I can stake them, then support. The ongoing trend is these magazines are often a mess. When a new one pops up I assume it'll be more of the same. And it's not the platform's fault it's a mess. The contributors are making it. I'm not going to spend money on something that only causes me to pull me hair out. Look how much pride goes into publishing actual paper magazines. That's what I expect as a paying consumer.
So people can wait for people to show up, then get their act together; or people can get their act together and give people a reason to show up.
I don't know.
