Well this is why HIVE doesn't grow.
It needs to be clear about what it wants from it's userbase. Either the platform is building to try to attract "normies" into crypto/blockchain.. by simply creating a digital world where they can flourish doing what they do already on regular internet: BEE SOCIAL.
Or this is just a very simplistic game of money where in reality majority of people will HAVE TO WORK their asses off for recognition.. and likely never earn any meaningful bread.
See the fact is you yourself flip flop on this fundamental. At times you make the claim " HIVE needs to provide a "dapp" where growth outside of the money game is the focus" but then other times you make sure people understand this is FOR FOOLS CHASING MONEY ONLY.
So then again... read my post from the beginning and understand why growth suffers.
IMO, this will never be a thriving social platform. Folks seeking money in all kinds of basic ways IS the system. I mean there's not even a SEARCH function here to intuitively retrieve whatever content is in that pile of "PAST CRAP USERS ONCE GOT AUTOMATED VOTES WITH" so the word CONTENT is more like a drug that gives fools their fix. It all then exists like used needles on an abandoned building floor.
If this is such a bad place, why are you even here?

No, not at all. I didn't mean I want you to leave. And I didn't disagree with you. I was genuinely curious what is keeping you here, even though this place sucks. Probably something more than money?

I think most people don't realize that right now Hive is first investment platform and only then social network. In other words, one cannot really grow here unless one invests. Yes, one will grow somewhat through effort, consistency and time but it will never lead to serious money unless one brings in their capital with them here.

Are you into cubdefi yet? So far it has been quite profitable.

Right. Now you get my point which I just repeated in my previous comment. Now since I know why you are here, I can tell you why I'm here too haha.
I'm here because I was sick of the Steem drama a year ago. What's keeping me here is my weekly comic and organ playing contests. More recently I feel compelled to engage more on Leofinance community because I feel attracted to the topics that involve Hive, Leofinance, and Cubdefi's future.

I wish we could multiple you tenfold as well.

Certainly Hive needs growth of user base. There is no network effect without it, just like there isnt one on Facebook, Twitter or any other application.
As for the social aspect, there is certainly that element required. Is the platform there yet? No it is not. Other than some of the gaming, this is still primarily a place for blogging/vlogging. There is no place akin to Facebook or even Twitter. That piece is missing and has to be developed. Fortunately, there are some working on the solution.
Of course your view tryin to separate the two means you really do not understand where things are going.
You look at things either/or where as others see both.
