I strongly agreed with you and that´s why i am excited by the work Leo, Value Plan, Hive Creators and Crimsonclad is doing. And i think we really need to do a massive Hackaton to bring many developers cause we need them, we need more people building, even if they dont come now cause its bear market but they will know about Hive.
I am all for anything that brings value and attention to the blockchain. We can all learn from these experiences and share ideas on how to move forward.
Also, i really think we need to build a way to make evergreen content on Hive base on views, time visualization or time reading. Lot of people arent creating great content cause they are creating it just for the upvotes when they should be focusing on generate traffic to their post from web2 and build an audience around that. Evergreen content could make think about that and i am sure they will start thinking of their account as his own personal brand, SEO and more. I think Leo is working on this so...
I am of the opinion that we are what we reward. If we reward those who aren't putting in effort people follow the trend/money. Leofinance is looking into this and other initiatives to bring value to the space. They are not folding their arms and concluding that hive is doomed like many other stakeholders. This is why I support them
