Some of my real-world friends don't want to provide their phone number to register to any online website (such as the #HiveOnboard service for joining Hive "free"), for fear of "spammers" and "prank callers". 🤔
Ask them to call me then... via the millions of social media options that exist! =)
Many of them use only one or two social media platforms, and most of those users barely reply to posts and personal messages on those platforms. 😐
yeah... maybe you need to understand what would captivate their attention first. Can't generalize interest anywhere these days.
When my post or message would potentially make them earn money, they suddenly become "no longer busy". 🤔😐
Yeah... I know that kind of deal. One day I will show them why I stoped messaging them.
You reminded me of a lot of people who do just that to me. 😯 Anyway, when I showed D.Buzz to some of them and how it differs from popular social media platforms, they quickly told me that
Not sure if we are within the same lines of thought...
The reason for stopping messaging is not because of adoption or lack of it... but instead because people sometimes refuse to learn just because they have preferred method. Hence don’t see the full picture of things.
I just find it too easy to talk to people, despite their different way of thinking, if I offer them something in return for their time. 😐 The words "difficult", "busy" and "don't know" disappear from their vocabulary if they are promised something that will benefit them (especially money). ☹️
I have learned that most of them will never join Hive unless I offer them a "sign-up bonus" (and being active here is a different thing) - or maybe I'm just not trying hard enough to convince them to join Hive. 😐
