Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics powered by Hive

avatar
(Edited)

In early 2019, I posted three promo videos (called “logo reveal”) to promote the Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics community on our platform. It was in the pre-Hive era, so as you can imagine it used the logo and name that are now obsolete.

For those who missed that part of history, the name of the legacy platform was similar to STEM, but with an extra “E.”
Like in Embarrassment, which we decided to get rid of.

The videos were pretty cool, though.

After noticing that they are still used here and there by the STEMSocial community, I decided to finally refresh them with the STEMSocial logo, and of course with “powered by Hive”.
Last but not least, all are encoded with the audio track that you liked so much. It was created by maestro @mobbs.

Below the videos, there are three animated GIFs, converted from the source MP4 material, along with a block of code suitable to be included in your posts.
Feel free to use those materials to promote Hive-powered Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics.

Those are four of my favourite things. These days my programming overlaps with some physical engineering with with maths and science mixed in too. I can't really post about work stuff online though. Luckily I play around with these things for fun too :)

Awesome. I have been waiting eagerly for them 😁. I was feeling lazy to proofread a draft for post that has been sitting in my folder for over a week now. Now, I am gonna go over it, just so I can use one of these soon.

Thanks a lot.

Only problem is, you guys are brainwashed MFs. Earth is flat and what you are promoting is satanic pseudo science.

Proof is in this video:

Woah, sorry to treat you like a zoo animal but its kinda cool you guys still actually exist, given that tourists are literally going into space at this point, 100 miles higher than the space station, for 3 straight days.

You've reallllllly gotta struggle to keep this up at this point lol. Kudos for the mental gymnastics you must be suffering through

Dude you are brainwashed. The "space turism" is just going under the dome. Space is fake and we DONT live on a spinning ball.

My experience is that most people are too brainwashed to wake up from this spell. So I have no hope for you, keep living in the lie:

They are great.

Organic chemistry used to be my best course before I got into medical school. I love the IUPAC nomenclature. It's nice to be reminded of this. Nice post.

Wow, thse are super animations! And yes, I do like the music as well.
Soon, very soon I'll be receiving my new power machine in laptop format. Playing with the idea to start exploring the creations of videos. Triggered fully on these animations you made and like to understand what raw material you used and what tools you used to get this done. I mean, the 'handwriting of the math and all, how did you do this? A large sequence of photo's and then 'glued' them together in a GIF creator?

None of those things, it's just templates with service subscription and reseller license. If I'd have to do that myself I'd go with Blender and most likely spend so much time on that trying to make it perfect that I wouldn't never finish it ;-)

GIF is just postprocessing of the source video material, it's tricky because you have to keep minimal viable quality and yet fit in a reasonable file size.

Hey there Gandolf! Been too long and I hate to come here with my own personal BS. It's good to see in this post you are still ontop of your game. Unfortunately I am not.

I'm looking for some help to save my blog. Yesterday Hivewatchers blacklisted me! Then they gave me a said criteria for why.....and I do not fit the criteria and they blacklisted me anyway! In the discord appeals they implied I was making too much money with my photo posts. But never addressed the fact that I do not fit their own criteria for blacklisting me. My photo posts are always a set of 9 quality photos from places I've been and I use one article for the series of new photos just to go along with them in-case people want to learn more. They said I'm not adding new content to my posts.....they are saying my 9 new photos are not new content. That's the whole reason people like the posts, up-vote, and comment. Some posts and photos are better than others like all content here. The better the photos the better the posts do. With the price up 5x in a month I guess it didn't look good all of a sudden. I realized that beforehand and I personally was going to make major changes to my blog.

I was planning on touring Thailand on Motorbike next year with some HIVE t-shirts to wear and give away as we travel, while making super good blog posts. But at the moment my blog is destroyed.

Maybe you can help save my blog by commenting on this post. Would really mean a lot to me. Thank you so much and hope you are well.

Hello there :-)
Please don't exaggerate, it's not that your blog is destroyed, those are just some downvotes because people - most likely - disagree on the rewards. It it's hivewatchers, talk to hivewatchers, there's no central authority on Hive.
As you can see on my post, I also got $95 downvote, and that's fine, people have their right to vote however they wish. With popular authors it's really tricky, because it might be tempting to just write more frequent with less effort if upvotes are coming regardless (which is not true, it's usually because you've earned reputation among voters).
That's one of the reasons I don't post more frequently, because I know that will likely get votes, as people are expecting that it's high quality content, and I'm not able to meet those standards every day. Or week. Or sometimes a month ;-)

Thanks Gandolf. I know I can always count on you for sound advice. However at the time of writing my blog was basically wiped out to zero, and my discord conversation with them was brief, hivewatchers telling me I'm blacklisted and done here, there was no appeal. After making the post I linked here they decided to remove the blacklist across the board downvotes. So by the time you saw my blog the downvotes were removed. I didn't mean for it to look like I was exaggerating. It seems like the problem is resolved and I have already switched to an already planned new and improved blogging style to meet expectations and rewards like you mention.

Thanks for taking the time, it's much appreciated.

Lord I apologize greatly for only seeing this TWENTY FIVE DAYS after creation. This is what new girlfriends will do to you.

I'm really happy this is updated! But I feel a little awkward about the musical praise haha. I'm stealing all the vids from YouTube to show off to all.

Also, the comment below 'Your EEG might be flat' hahahahahahahah
