Curating quality people versus content. This makes a lot more sense to me, @meno, than whatever you would call the marketing I saw when I first discovered Hive. Very frankly, the various ways this game or again whatever else someone wants to pretend it is instead, was a significant impediment to my own decision in deciding whether or not participating myself was a good investment of time.
Still seriously reflecting on what I am going to do, in my personal response to this discovery, this reaction, and this description of what Hive truly is, at least in the eyes of another long-term Hivian, I found your main point to be more encouraging.
"Do not hesitate to leave us some feedback, negative, postive, it doesn't matter."
Okay. I will then ask you a straight up question. From your experience base of years on the Hive blockchain, how common and genuine is this viewpoint with other accounts? Particularly with those one might call "controlling interest" accounts? Specifically, contrasting it with what one might call the "echo chamber" variety of most of the interactions I have read?
For your encouragement, perhaps, you have my attention, for the time being. Why?
- You give the impression of being intellectually honest. You openly solicit differing opinions, as one example. Maybe you are just very clever in disguising a different underlying mindset. I do not know, as consistency over time is not something I can comment on, being new here.
- A short video clip like this one is not a major investment of time. 90 minutes to watch or listen to the one you reference? More problematic.
- Given how long you have been active on the Hive blockchain, you have an experience base which many other accounts do not. One could then reasonably assume you know what you are talking about, when it comes to your Hive blockchain references.
- You have demonstrated your words mean something, as you have chosen to invest at least a bit of your time in engaging with my account. I could characterize this further, but I'll refrain.
With your creation of this post appearing to be a nice start to it, I hope the rest of your day is equally productive and constructive.

There are some people on here, that to their own detriment, only listen when the other person has a big wallet. To me that's myopic. I know personally of people who began their Hive journey with nothing and have huge accounts now. You don't really know who that person will become. Also, good ideas can come from anyone, and we should be humble enough to know we cannot possibly know all the answers.
I guess you could say Hive is a digital reflection IRL dynamics. Make of that what you will. I happen to feel comfortable understanding this fact.
All that said, Echo chambers are nothing new either. It's a mission of mine to not get trapped into one myself, but I work actively at this, and it may be that I'm just under the illusion that I'm succeeding at it to some degree.
Back from going outside and walking around in the sunlight, I appreciate your response, @meno. From the little bit I have contributed content on my account, some may notice I like the idea of key words. Words are powerful. So, in your response, are there any which stand out?
Myopic. Humble.
As succinctly as I can manage, here are some related thoughts:
Thank you for providing an opportunity to have a little bit of interaction. FWIW, I would encourage you to continue to do all you can, from your position of influence, to challenge the controlling interests on this blockchain to seek input from those with different viewpoints.
You never know who is reading any of this content and what decisions they are making, as a result. Particularly if they are left with the perception that speaking up is a waste of their time, if not worse.
