Why Hive is my only choice for posting long form text.

Still on Elon and Twitter. No my long form texts or posts will not be going on Twitter. Why should they? I know Twitter as a micro blogging site, scroll and glance through a bunch of tweets and exit, the latest announcement about adding long form texts does not sit well with me.

But whatever, it doesnā€™t have to, as far as long form posts are concerned, Hive has got me covered, Hive is more equipped and far more advanced than any long form content hosting technology in existence.

I believe long form content takes some reasoning and brain power compared to micro blogging, imagine spending hours creating long form content only to get shadow banned or account restricted, I know itā€™s been said that things like that are reduced now but I donā€™t trust it, I trust code.

The fact that Elon said so doesnā€™t mean itā€™s coded into Twitter design to stop or reduce censorship or account restrictions, on Hive, no oneā€™s account can be censored by design, Elon could catch a govt dart tomorrow and change his mind without prior notice or announcement itā€™s his isnā€™t it? nothing of such on Hive.

Imagine putting time and energy into building an audience on Twitter only to loose it all one day. On Hive, my one account and audience is carried over into other applications built on Hive, I have no worries of account restrictions. My audience goes where I go.

Also on Hive, my posts are monetized by design, so I I receive various crypto by posting and using relevant tags. Iā€™m able to grow what I earn by plugging them into various internal mechanisms that further help me earn even more, by design, combined with several concrete implications like giving me the ability to grow stake to participate in the governance of the platform. So tell me again why my long form posts should go to Twitter.

But then again, he also said that Twitter will be adding creator monetization for all forms of content. Seriously, who will tell Elon we have it on Hive?

Interesting how these tech overlords are so excited to pioneer tech that has already scaled instead of collaborating to improve and expand on whatā€™s existing and doing well. Letā€™s see how they plan to go about this if itā€™ll be any different from YouTube Web 1.0 monetization.

For me, Iā€™ll continue using my space on Twitter to tell the world about the wonders of Hive, one after the other, they will realize. Things like this will also help people to ease into the understanding of whatā€™s possibleā€¦.and all this while Hive keeps getting better.
