While I was reading your comment, I reflected on my current thinking regarding HIVE and some of the DHF proposals out there... I have to be truthful to myself first, and if I don't like something, voting for it just because someone ASKED me, or pushed me to do is completely irresponsible... Or, even worse, to be bribed to vote for something that is bad for me, and the community! Just to get short-term gains... That sucks, and that happens a lot...
Similar to your experience... Instead of helping out players, and accepting ideas, your company decided to go oppositely... I suppose chasing the profits...
The lack of a long-term vision is killing the society...
