Seriously? Are we a Hive community or a Discord community?
It onboarded users, it generated engagement.
It's not difficult to attract people by giving away 1K HBD a week. I wonder how many of these users will still be active in six months' time. My guess: 0%. Contests create fake traffic. They are a short-sighted solution. So yes: 50K HBD down the drain.
Kind of like sitting around a table and playing cards, watching films with friends and Hive giving me 30k HBD.
It's funny how you see the first place in Europe that implemented Hive. It's a pity that there isn't a single one in Croatia. Anyway, the difference is that we did not waste the funds from the Value Plan. Thanks to them, we developed the place so much that attendance increased by 250% and we became recognisable in Krakow and beyond. Thanks to this recognition, we are now in contact with the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Central and Eastern Europe. They are organising an event at our venue in December. In May, we presented Królestwo and Hive at their educational centre. In Steem's heyday, there were attempts to list the token there. It didn't work out. And we are quite close. Unlike the seasonal onboarding of musicians, who (without giving away 1K HBD a week) will be gone in a year, this may attract new investors.
PS. Trying out different promotional methods is normal. However, you need to know when to stop. We also had ideas related to contests, but after giving away 100 HBD, we decided that it wasn't the best idea.
