In the wake of recent events surrounding the Binance awards you may have seen the whales @innerhive & @xxxxxxxxxx coming out of the woodwork to downvote and insult me on this platform.
The consensus I've seen is that they are "to be feared for their power".
One of the prominent comments I received was about the footer on my Hive posts, and how this appears to be a "worthless shill" - thanks Bernie, your vitriol is hot.
CRYPTOFINALLY'S FOOTER
OUTSIDE LINKS - This is the part where I link to my other pages, what this does is create backend SEO for Hive.Blog - and brings my Hive posts up on Google searches when people interact with, or click through to my other platforms - sadly no, there has not been any worthwhile traffic FROM Hive TO these links, that is not their purpose & honestly there are not enough fresh users currently on this platform for that to begin to make a dent, I'm aware of that.
HASHTAGS & INFORMATION - Yes, me including follow up text, hashtags and long tail keywords bumps up hive to the top of google searches as well. Despite my large digital footprint - Hive.Blog always appears on the first or second page of Google when you search for me. This is why.
This is a decentralized social media site, and shaming content creators for providing links & SEO work in the form of hateful comments, is not something that will draw people to your platform.
I advocate for Hive, Hive should be advocating for its users, not tearing them down.
