We are lucky on hive. Not only do we have the possibility to create long form content and earn with it, we have even several platforms that enable us to earn for doing tweet like posts. We have Ecency waves, Inleo threads, Liketu moments and Peakd snaps. All these platforms make it possible to create short form content that is considered the same as any other post on hive. The way these platforms are build, the content that you create is nothing else than a comment that you put under a container post of the according platform.
Is it good that we have 4 different platforms for the same purpose? I'm not so sure about that because it spreads the interaction and reduces the interaction on each of them. The result is a bit a stale activity on most of the platforms.
I would like to talk about something else for just a moment. You will understand later why.
A recurrent problem on hive. Things are developed but nobody knows about it
Now there is a thing on Hive that I have noticed for a long time. We have great things being developed but these things are often lacking adoption or are simply not known by the wast majority of users. The fact that the development is often ignored by a wast majority is reducing the synergy effect of what is being developed. Let me explain: Developer A develops app A and Developer B develops app B. They both develop in their corner and both apps die because they lack exposure. This is double bad because app A linked with app B would have been a match in heaven which could have revolutionized Hive.
An exception to the rule
I was very happy to see that there are some exceptions to this rule. There is a very specific exception related to the short form content platforms. We have on one side these platforms that have been developed and on the other side with have the project called commentrewarder that was developed in a totally different context. For once, some people have seen that the combination of these two tools could be a kind of revolution.
How commentrewarder improves short form platforms
The concept of commentrewarder is as follows: a post creator can dedicate a percentage of the post rewards to the commentrewarder project. At the end of the 7 days, this part of the earnings will be distributed to people commenting on the post. The only thing that needs to be done is to upvote the people who should get the rewards by the author of the post. This is a great feature to encourage engagement on hive posts.
Both Ecency Waves and Peakd Snaps put 99% post rewards to commentrewarder on their container posts
Since the short form content platforms actually work like hive posts, Ecency waves and Peakd snaps have realized that this would be a great way to boost their platforms. The idea is simply, they put 99% of the container post rewards to commentrewarder and they then upvote some content that generated a lot of interaction. After 7 days, the people who were active on waves and snaps not only get the normal rewards from the comments that they generated, they get in addition to that rewards from commentrewarder. These rewards can be quite interesting.
My earnings from a couple of posts on snaps through commentrewarder
Not only this represents double income for the people creating waves or snaps, it also allows the platforms to incentivise the activity that they want to push.
For the moment inleo threads and liketu moments aren't using commentrewarder but I think it's just a matter of time until they adopt it as well.
