I recently joined the American Philatelic Society's The hub @ Stamp SCHOOL. Though not an APS member, the hub looked like an easy way to see and participate in online conversations on stamp collecting. "Learn and get to know like-minded people interested in stamps and postal history! Not sure which group is best for your post? Post it here!", they told me.
But what message does the number one topic each day send (top photo)? Membership is declining! There are 176 replies and 628 views so far, by far the most popular topic. The usual suggestions follow: make more use of social media to attract new, younger members; pay some influencers; give more courses; focus on expertizing and exhibiting. Does it say 'make stamp collecting more fun' anywhere in here?
Imagine if a business started an app, and the main message the app sent you each day was, "Why are our prices so high?".
