It's been more than two months since I wrote a post dedicated to Listnerds, and not as a special mention in my weekly goals post every now and then.

And it's been less than a week since Listnerds recovered relatively quickly after experiencing some issues with their Hive-Engine node. Actually, I'm pretty surprised Listnerds hasn't been affected by such node issues more often in its over five months of new history if I recall correctly.

The Hive-Engine ecosystem seems to experience usually minor issues every once in a while. Sometimes it's their nodes, other times it's the bridges they use or the other side of the bridge, i.e. the respective blockchain nodes. It's a complex system, with many interdependencies.

But I'm not talking about Hive-Engine now.

Listnerds is slowly becoming a household name on Hive. Much like its owners prefer and propose - a slow and steady business model.

While at first, it may have been looked at with some reticence, coming from the online marketing niche Listnerds was born in, it was the Hive users who adopted the new model of Listnerds first, not the already existing marketers on the platform, who preferred to use the old techniques that didn't work anymore.

This was surprising, at first, but then it shows that Hive users adapt more easily and understand where things are going better than many online marketers seem to.

We have seen online marketers cross over to Hive in time as well, so it's not a general rule, more of a case-by-case situation.

So, we're 5 months in. Has the excitement around the platform been going down already? It must have!

Well, maybe older members don't write about Listnerds every other post anymore, lol. That's changed. Or maybe some still do and I haven't noticed it.

But if you keep saying the same thing over and over again, you will lose your audience, who might be interested in hearing about something else too.

What I can tell you is they are still sending their emails on the platform, consistently. Some twice a day, some daily, others rarer. Mostly depending on their upgrade type.

And you can see the excitement of newer members when they post about Listnerds for the first (couple of) times. Some very known people or projects on Hive.

Some took longer than others to be convinced, but once they did, it's a bit like a before and after experience. And it's great to read about it and see them embrace something you've been using since day 1.

There's new blood coming to Listnerds continuously. And that can be observed if you don't look at the emails received within the platform for a couple of days and then, you start wondering: Who is that? I thought I knew everyone active (that might've been the case a while ago, but not anymore).

During the day when Listnerds was having issues with their Hive-Engine node, I probably logged in at least 10 times to see if the situation was resolved. I bet many others did the same, or just checked out their discord. That shows how important Listnerds has become to our daily routine.

If you are on Hive, you should at least try to understand their business model and how to use it. What I truly hope is that Listnerds will become a magnet for people outside Hive as well, toward Hive.

By the way, if you need an incentive... This is thanks to Listnerds:
