Great points there.
You've been here for the long while and could understand here so far. Some great stuffs may be ignored for long, but eventually could have a breakthrough. AN example is INLEO. Been around there since the days of SteemLEO. Despite not DAO support, we see where INLEO has reached now. Many prospect are and would be unveiled. The recently passed proposal is a product of grit and resilience.
You've got great ideas and projects here which I've followed, it could take just a little more patience for the breakthroughs to happen.
However, your side hustle that brings in cash regularly should not be abandoned.
Think of collaborations.
Also the lack of support for developers trying to build actual use cases like myself and others that are no longer around, or not nearly as active. I have talked to other people that have tried and get the same answer every time.
Tried out applying out a DAO fund?
Always having my support.
I submitted a proposal in the early Hivelist days and it failed, but there were people getting funds that literally were not providing any value to the chain whatsoever. Then over time, I have seen many good proposals not get funded because the person wasn't either popular enough with the main whales or something, I don't know. Like I have seen many marketing props get turned down simply because the whales in charge don't want to see a huge wave of people because it takes away from their inflation rewards. Hive is not as decentralized as people want to make it out to be.
