It's Day 30 of #premium 🤴 So how did it go? Buckle up and I'll tell you about it 🦁🚀 You'll hear both good & bad. So you can make up your mind with a realistic view.

My 1st Thoughts

That was written soon after I got a premium. I wasn't even 2 months in! But read and you'll see I was pretty positive. I'll keep this brief. I don't want you to take too much time thinking to spend 10 HBD.

• Long threads are a game changer! It's really hard to go back after trying them out for 1st time! If you are a regular #threads user just try premium for once!
• Extra themes are nice to have. But I can totally live without them.
• Premium users get featured better in For You page. You'll get more interactions (including votes) with premium on! Almost everyone on my feed has premium
• Bigger votes come when @leo.voter curate your content 🚀

I don't use other features often. There are other ways to accomplish basic things like markdown or deleting comments. Just use another front end. You'll be just fine. It's really just there to give incentive for noobs who don't know the inner workings.

Noobs come and see Twitter replacement on web 3. They don't even need to know the cool stuff about Hive under hood. They can login with web 2 account and figure out web 3 self custody later.

Hidden Dashboard Feature 👀

Yea.... so I write these posts while doing the thing. I was finally feeling read to have my $LEO rewards staked. It bumps up APR from 13% ▶️ 20%. Then there's extra 2% for premium users.

For some folks extra 2% APR for delegating can make up 10 HBD. They must become premium users ASAP. They can get premium for basically free or at a profit.

Problems is sometimes website doesn't work. Sometimes https://labs.inleo.io/ works better. This time both are down for dashboard. But here's when that extra Hive knowledge come to play. Dashboard just make me sign a Tx. All I need to do is replicate it some other way 😸

Now it's all set. I get 22% APR for delegating to @leo.voter just like that! Those are the main individual benefits you get.

Community Benefits 🗺️

All the HBD from premium goes to LP on CubFinance to make it easy to swap tokens at low slippage. This is good to be attractive to traders. It's also extra demand for $HIVE $LEO tokens. Everyone in community benefit when prices go up.

This is a cool fact to keep in mind when buying premium. You'll help all investors of Hive & Leo 🚀

Negatives: Constructive Criticism

It all comes down to something very simple. All other things are fine. Get me a smooth website that always work! I've seen more than enough error pages!

I'd love to see 1K subs. I was 1 of them for a month. I actually started posting more because of premium! It felt good to start posting with fresh new features. The only part that killed the fun was when InLeo throw errors.

Things that break should go to Labs 🔬

Main website that noobs come to use should never break! I can tolerate some bugs. You think some X, FB, Insta, TikTok user is going to have the patience. They'll just go out saying web 3 sucks! We avoid this if we make InLeo work all the time. Labs 🔬 can take the bleeding edge. I'd even be happy to primarily use Labs. But there must must must be a stable UI I can always use.

I'm Down For 1 More Month

Unstaked some DEC I have with Splinterlands. It's like having liquid stablecoin. Difference is DEC is not as stable like USDT. It's also got lots of steps to work with.

I paid some swap fee. But if this was other way around - it's a payment. Check out @uswap for more info. If you've got some idle Hive or Swap.Hive it's an easy way to make some crypto 🪙

Premium For 30 Days More 🦁👑

I'm with you guys in this journey. I've decided pros are bigger than cons. All I ask from devs is a stable website that ALWAYS work! After that we can get more normies in 🚀
