Hive/Steem came out about the same time as Mastodon—they're both about 7 years old.
Our challenge is in the decentralization & marketing. Hive has no exec team. Hive is many things, Mastodon is highly specific thus easier to sell.

I agree. People think Hive is one and yet very different within. It is a complex structure for others to understand.
Because Hive is a community of communities and it insets all sorts of social intersections. That's the strength, equally a weakness to some extent or temporarily.
Until users see how this diversity is the strength when it comes to decentralization
Part of the problem with tokenized media- is with the reward we make socializing a means to achieve an end(reward). In Web 2.0 they socialize to have fun
That is why we have 2 different types of audiences. I wish this is transitory
I hope so. That's the reason I do not want to advertise the earning aspect of these platforms.
If earning becomes the poster boy of social media, then socializing will never become an end howsoever u try, it is bound to suffer inner contradictions.
And the greed prevails
So "jack of all trades" does not sell??
It's much harder to sell than "thing that fixes a specific problem," yes.
Better to promote projects with specific value-add that use Hive than try to sell Hive all at once, in many cases.
