"...help Hive evolve towards decentralization..."
We are. Scrolling up through the comments again I noted several people reacting in shock at how centralization of the stake works. Lots of folks are trying to wrap their head around how it works, and some folks with vested interests that well understand how it works are trying to obfuscate it, to keep playing the fish on the line.
I've made the best pitch I know how, but when folks are trying to obfuscate and milk rather than act in good faith, no matter how well you make your pitch it won't produce beneficial results.
Some folks just don't have good faith. When those folks also have power, and oddly common circumstance, Hive doesn't get increasingly decentralized, things don't get better, and censorship increases instead of decreases.
Suppression of speech isn't eradication of it, yet. So, given the options Hive remains less censored than Twatter or the rest of 'em. It's just useful to not care about money in order to use it if the censors don't want you to.
