I like this lighting setup, I think it would look pretty dope on some video shorts actually. Some chatter around the space about making more of these, definitely something you'd look goood in.

Is there already support for shorts on Liketu? I've considered making a second account so I could post shorts because I've recently started making them and have dozens upon dozens saved up. I thought only 3Speak had shorts as of right now though. Then again, I guess I could just post them on this account and not reblog them.
No, we're not going to do shorts like 3speak, they do a fine job there. We have had talks on sharing infrastructure to get them on liketu, but I was just thinking in general about short videos outside of Hive to bring people in. We have a lot of interesting characters with strong personalities - you are one! - and I think getting more content into the tradsoc sphere to attract people to the Hive ecosystem would be great!
That would be nice to be able to share 3Speak’s infrastructure within Liketu.
But I see what you’re saying, posting shorts on places like YT, TikTok, and IG so that people may see them and make their way into the world of Hive.
The shorts I've been making have nothing to do with Hive so far Mostly just dancing like a mad man to dubstep and showing off my AI art creations. I find it difficult to imagine a way to promote Hive through shorts that would actually be fun to me. It also doesn’t help that I have nearly zero following on my Web2 socials. Algorithm never seems to care for me 😆
Yes, I think this is one of the hurdles we have. Though, on a top down view, I think it is important, even necessary, that content fungibility is leveraged.
What do I mean by that?
Think of Uber, Lyft, Bolt etc.
The service you require is essentially fungible. Customers go where it is cheapest and/or easiest to get the service you want. The actual ride doesn't really differ too much.
Platforms providing this service have difficult creating moats because the fundamental offering is quite liquid. A driver could move from being a Lyft driver, to a Bolt driver to an Uber driver, just as easily as a customer could go between the platforms depending where they can get the same service for the best deal.
Crypto-exchanges are similar. You have choice, and a purchase of Bitcoin from Coinbase, Kraken or anywhere else, is still just a purchase of Bitcoin. It's hard to ultimately secure customers on the offering alone.
Content creators and their platforms are the same. I think this is why TikTok is quite successful, because their platform enabled the creation of those short videos which simply did not exist anywhere else. Then they doubled down on that. Other places have since tried to replicate it, be it instagram reels, or youtube shorts, but each platform's true unique selling point, and thus their defensible moat, came from the non-fungible offerings which initially gave them the headway to capture a significant first movers advantage.
Suffice to say, for us, the ultimate non-fungibility comes back to the users, and their ability attract attention. We are good at that on Hive, but rather poor elsewhere. I'm beginning to think we should make a collective and focused effort to help creators on Hive become prominent creators outside of Hive, if only to make them realise the best stuff is on Hive!
