RE: Why isn't Hive where it should be? Hive isn't the problem

Hive needs a cult-of-personality

That is exactly what is going to take. And we're all slacking...because a proposal could have been submitted to set money aside for big celebrity shoutouts or at least get some of the community to pool funds for a few Cameo mentions.

Find a celebrity on Cameo, negociate the mention type "Just signed up for this Ecency thing.." and then come back to HIVE, make a post about what is going to cost to get the celebrity to send us the video, and let us vote and send tips or direct deposit to make it happen. Then make another post to gather funds for YouTube advertising or something and plaster that video everywhere.
