Dan is just one person. There are many smart people out there working the problems and looking for improvements. Hive is alive system that keeps growing and evolving with time. You are basically saying that Hive is hopeless and that everyone should abandon it. Luckily, not everyone agrees with it.
What would be fair? Is it fair on other platforms? There are influencers out there that are earning millions while most other people barely scrape by. Is that fair? Don't the influencers affect what deserves attention for thousands of others? I don't know if you fully understand how attention based economy works out there.
Also, don't you remember when OCD started out, its purpose was to look for newbies and show them to the public. I don't understand how you can say that the curation guilds are some sort of communist parties that promote whatever they want.
Not every person on Hive will go an vote only posts on trending. Hell, I have been on Hive for over 4 years and I don't go and upvote all the posts on trending. Plus, there are communities where people can follow the content creators that are writing about stuff that interest them.
On other platforms you are barely a visitor, you can be muted or removed any second by corporate overlords.
On Hive people own the platform and no one will kick them off the platform.
You want to control more what happens on Hive and the direction it goes, buy more Hive or contribute in other ways.
Time will tell <3.
I genuinely hope I am wrong for Hive.
Are you really tryin to say I can't post about this subject (semi-censorship) LOL. To be honest I have no interest in spending any resources in Hive, I'm posting here to give my thoughts on why this chain is failing. Or if you would like my thoughts on this chain.
All love @m31 <3
No, what I said was, that is the way DPOS works. More stake = more influence. Is all.
And the chain isn't failing.
