RE: Hive needs professional music artists
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
If the music scene here has a strong enough pile of HP backing it, there's that chance the DHF could provide funding. I'd want to see it directly connected to Hive though. Not some dApp hidden off to the side somewhere paying out one of those random community tokens that seem to turn to dust quite often. Wouldn't want to be distracted, messing around with "tokenomics" all day, basically turning it into another crypto forum.
Could be a one stop shop for legit arts and entertainment only. Video, Streaming and spotify and social network so you can connect with the audience. With plenty of emphasis placed on actual consumption. Not just a platform for creators to post into the void. A place where consumers are excited to be there, enjoying being rewarded for supporting the arts with their money, as they do, rather than throwing it away. Actual listeners. Need something that creates buy pressure constantly, from consumers, so artists can actually earn without causing tremendous sell pressure. No tricks. No gimmicks. A mass of consumers staking HIVE and using HBD for purchases eventually turns that funding into profit as well. Much easier to market a product like that than the name of a blockchain.
Get some devs willing to work alongside some artists rather than just slapping something together. For some strange reason I think that would yield some solid results.
Would be nice...
It needs people to fund these things. Like it or not, Vibes has money behind it and perhaps the prizes could be better targeted. I have entered a few times and not won, but I got some very nice votes anyway. It seems some whales are interested in supporting music, so we need to be talking to them.
I haven't been paying much attention to Vibes lately, simply because I don't have the time. I liked what they're doing and respect the artists. Early on, some of those performances were gathering tens of thousands of views on the outside. That's the part most here overlook. It's an indirect form of marketing.
I've seen solid talent taking part in Vibes. Real musicians. Real artists.
Cover songs can be ideal in those situations. Youtube has millions of cover songs with billions of views. If the original artist discovers it, likes it, then shares it, it goes viral. Then you have millions of people hearing "Hive" before the song starts.
People deep in the Hive bubble would easily overlook the strategies and happenings behind the scenes, only concerned about votes and money and why they're not getting it.
So yeah, you'd want to include them and what it brings to the table as well. I'm looking around the comments and complaints, noticing plenty are missing the mark, but that's okay. A few bad performances shouldn't define the entire Vibes community, when there's so much actual talent showing up to perform as well. No point in knocking down those who try.
These things need to happen in stages, so getting music fans onboard is the next step. A dApp where they feel comfortable would be wise. I'm sure it would have support, from more than just "whales."
