Hive is controlled by a mafia that captures most of the created wealth by the network. Just look at the 'DAO' proposals, and how it's the same people in the witnesses. It's also the same people running all the apps. They pretend they are not a corporation, yet they will never relinquish control of this chain, and they decide everything via private channels, to which you will never have access to, unless you suck their dicks and do what they say afterwards.
Most of the real people who believed in decentralization are long gone from this network. Those who remain, are just pretending and keeping the shit running so their income doesn't stop. If you are looking for decentralized media, look somewhere else. Even if the governance issue was fixed, the economy would need to get fixed, and author rewards nulled, in order equilibrate supply and demand and to create a stable market for the token. And to make the matter worse, the codebase of hive, which is a fork of steem, which is a fork of bitshares, is obviously complete bloat.
3speak is just trash and not worth talking about
I agree with everything you said and that's why I try get the discussion going but those who have become the inner circle here are all shy or don't want to have that discussion.

You two represent the nuclei of this platform. Block the code. Dan the hope. You can't seriously think that selling basic code wrapped in a lot of hope to a tiny audience is ever going to take this thing to any great heights do you?
Who the hell is going to buy in to this with any significant amount?
I'm confident that the long game could work out for this chain but then that would mean that those HERE NOW - LOYAL USERS deserve better reward. Which can be done with the system now. Yet everywhere I see very fractional rewards to those outside of the inner circle.
That's a sure way TO KILL COMMUNITY.
Which is in effect. Holding 10K weekly users is a very thin margin to recover from even if the next year sees amazing development.
ZERO MARKETING means you're relying on that very small community to do the work. Which is also in effect. So really, what the hell is THE HIVE EXPERIENCE?
Work for the inner circle?
