Very well written my friend! It's easy to complain about this or that for sure and we are all guilty of it from time to time. I agree that instead of complaining, being part of the solution and be the changes we want to see is the only way to go. Hive is a community project and we need to do our part as a community and individuals to make it the best place to be and ensure it's success. With that being said, I see many doing great things around here, there will always be some things to improve upon as a community and as individuals but overall, this place has kept me around for over 3 years and it's not about the entitlements but more so the social network and the community. The challenges are as a community, we all have a different vision of what hive can be or should be and cause some tensions but it's also the beauty of it. One thing I don't like so much is how it's advertise as make $$ to blog here, it should be advertised as a social network, perhaps that would eliminate the sense of entitlement from some and help with user retention given they join for the right reasons and let whatever happen in it's proper time. Proper communication and engagement is important to a social network especially on like this that is community led, that includes the direction of the technical stuff and hardforks instead of writing a bunch of rage-quit posts on the things we don't like. This a young project, I have faith we will find our direction.
