I think the core problem for right now is that we shouldn't be marketing hive to people. Developers yes which the team have been doing at conferences this year but not to users.
We need to market the apps as stand alone places to be. Inleo is doing this now. Market their micro blogging, blogging and soon ad revenue program.
Splinterlands were very successful marketing their game in the last bull run. Hive is big and confusing and not fit for regular Internet users.
If you want to get those female writers then create a website that is just for that content and market it specifically to them.
Easy to join, like minded people, rewards from ad revenue.
Then get teams to build another dozen of those generating revenue and soaking hive off the market every week.
It wouldn't take long to see Hive hit 5 dollars and that would bring people in droves to earn it.
I am also beginning to think that some of the critical mass that is needed for the "tipping point" is also the overall comfort of the general population around "blockchain complexities".
In the past, it was just impossible because the moment you would spell "github" people would just turn around. Today, its getting different by the day...
Things like, "run everything as code" are flooding the IT in nowadays and over time, teaching a new generation that will need to play (on the daily basis) with "everything as code". And that will help ecosystems like blockchains, to further evolve.
There is just not enough "general" population to feel normally attracted to play with something if not because of its financial aspect. But I am sensing that factor changing quite a bit. More knowledge, more examples, more tools that allow you to quickly learn and get to a final objective. AI is going to play a major role in that sense too... it's already doing that. But that critical mass in its own, will mass evolve in the next 2 to 3 years (my view).
But like you said, its just a matter of time! And yeah, they will come... 100% agree!
NOTE: The BroBang game thing rocks mate... really enjoyed it!
I would totally agree with this and something I've been saying for a long time.
There's two core things that keeps hive and apps small. Those are
Small user base and it might be larger in terms of views on articles, videos etc but view counts are hard to come by on the hive interface for some weird reason.
The token needs to pay out. And LEO is doing this right and why I'll been such a pain in the ass about just focusing on getting the ad revenue going already and APY on staked tokens. People want payouts (money) for their content. That price action on LEO is going to greatly help start supporting price and eyeballs.
Something that I think is missing on Hive, like with a lot of crypto is good educational material.
I know there are guides, and searching yields results, but often guides fall into Jargon use and I've often struggled with finding out the meaning of very basic terms and mechanics. The ecosystem is also confusing at times, like why publis on Leo Finance rather than PeakD ?, I really don't know.
Maybe I'm missing a good place that has lots of articles that explain the many aspects of Hive, maybe it already exists, but if outreach and onboarding are the goal, maybe start the funnel at some basic educational material.
Like Gas Fees for example, the Hive blockchain is fantastic because it has no gas fees in the traditional sense, this knowledge alone may tempt some to explore further. I know it is the reason why I avoid ETH unless absolutely necessary, and it is also the reason why I feel free to play about and experiment on hive...its painless,( apart from the slow learning curve for me :-) )
The tokens that the command sends are: 0.1 PGM-0.1 LVL-0.1 THGAMING-0.05 DEC-15 SBT-1 STARBITS-[0.00000001 BTC (SWAP.BTC) only if you have 2500 PGM in stake or more ]

Well, if it is indexed on inleo.io, you can get rewards past the 7 days, as it has an add revenue sharing model, and if you get traffic past 7 days, you will earn on it.
Thanks for the info and this is EXACTLY what I mean about all the little pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that are currently scattered about the place. What you told me above was new information for me.
On the other hand, it does give finding nuggets of information like this one, a feeling of achievement 😀
Well, there are some obvious friends circle around, that vote themselves up. There are some things needed:
User-friendliness - it is worked on, but still it lags
Maybe get rid of Hive as posting rewards and let communities create the own coin. Hive shall be used to power up the communities. This topic is before the name of Hive has been chosen.
Marketing, sell it as a new social media, where we might earn, not guaranteed earnings. Keep the bar low, as people will come for this. And again, back to 1.
My reasoning for this is that because eventually hive will be $10-$15, and it'll be like back in the old Steem days when people are earning $10,000 for a shitpost.
What happened to all these rich Hivers? Did they leave or are they still here holding the same Hive hoping for the next launch to the moon? !lol

Putting it simply money talks. We need more capital to attract and keep users. Like others say ad revenues.
