Don't get me wrong, I want Hive to succeed. It's why I push back on the misinformation that I find... in order to increase the quality of the content so that it can be valuable to people that might randomly find us.
I think it's important to figure out why the price of the Hive token hasn't been going up alongside Bitcoin, Solana and many other cryptos, to figure out why overall activity of the Hive blockchain seems to be dropping, to figure out who is buying Hive and why.
I totally understand the dangers of centralized platforms, particularly in the areas of misinformation... but also to democratize the ability for people to earn from creating so that centralized platforms can't just ban someone for no reason and disrupt their livelihoods.
My concern is that the Hive community is just generally out to extract as much value as possible, by posting content that will likely result in upvotes but isn't interesting or useful to the outside world.
