This was actually the first time I had been made aware of the issues with Hivewatchers. I completely agree that blaming them for the issues Hive has, without providing any viable alternative or solution is empty at best and negligent at worst. It's unproductive to criticize something that is being community-funded, without providing any better option.
Perhaps incentivizing the work/role of Hivewatchers to more community members could work, but, what would stop those new watchers from abusing that power and authority? Perhaps a second layer of governance, specifically for the Watchers, that could even be handled via Polling on LeoThreads and Hive base layer.

Second layer governance is certainly part of the solution. How it fits in is not quite clear at this moment.
