RE: Bringing the "Music Community" back to Hive... CALL TO ACTION
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Music for sure could be a big part of Hive but yet again people produce music to make money it's normally their job or a strong side hustle they have going on.
If Hive can come up with a streaming platform that pays more than a 7 day payout window and pays out like spotify, youtube etc then it most likely would have a bit of a shot. But the current structure of hive and zero revenue generation is going to be an issue for any real adoption here. NFT and music is rather dead. IMO revenue generation for their works that's evergreen income is going to be the critical part to really have music thrive here.
Also, yes I work with a number of music content creators and that's primarily their feedback as well in the past. It's not a focal point for them but instead a way to make a little extra quickly from their music.
A simple weekly contest worked in the past. At a point it had hundreds of participants but funds werent there. In the end they gave out something like 20-50 USD in total. Thats nothing.
We already have infrastructure in place to deliver that at a high level now with funding. Developing anything new if there are not users is imo a waste of time. We first need to use to the fullest what we have.
That is what this changes. It creates a simple option with minimal effort for receiving what are essentially starting funds for starting up musicians.
where are those funds generated from?
The music space is actully huge and having that on hive would be a massive boost in both users coming to listen and content creators with lots of talent.
ValuePlan will provide funds for starters. Thats why I will be looking for musicians outside Hive. New people are the goal and bringing those that left back. Now that NFTs are a thing many of them have decent followings and winners would ofc spread the word futher.
Last night I was on a big NFt space and got followed by guys with 200k followers between them for speaking for 2 minutes. (ofc a large chunk of them arent active but many are) This gives an opportunity to talk Hive to everyone outside Hive. Something we arent doing NEARLY enough.
