I agree with you. It was only when i got to Hive that I realize how much power is held in the hands of the end users. Unlike web 2 platforms where the users have no say in anything. I believe Hive has been able to get to the height it is today due to the community support. Without the community there is no platform.
Take a look at steemit and see how the community isn't that involved like hive is and that's why hive is way ahead of them in terms of community growth and also in all areas.
Exactly, many times we are not aware of the power we have, and not only in Hive, in web2 as well, the users are the ones who have the power, but there is no awareness of it, if they unite and advocate for a change, the platform has We have to accept what the users ask for or they will go to a more flexible one, the only thing missing is that awareness and that people want to get involved.
Youre right many don't know how much power they possess as an individual and as a collective.
That's it.
