It comes down to audience man. Leo jumped into the yield game with only a tiny amount of users knowing about it.
The other issue is Hive projects suffer from hermit syndrome. People in here tell each other how good their tribe is... some go to Twitter, and tell each other again how good things in Hive are. Then they repeat it again on discord... but again to themselves only.
Crypto is digital and digital is an internet thing, but it's not magic. You got to spread that information out and do it aggressively. Specially if you're only just starting out.
Leo was on the right path wanting to create a microbloging platform to entice the Twitter world. That was smart. The fact it's now pushed to next year shows however, what a very difficult thing to achieve that is.
So I believe Leo didn't pursue it because a cryptwitter might bring users but no instant dollar value. Jumping into BSC was the temptation that they ran with thinking that doing that would bring users and dollars instantly.
Well... that was a gamble.
Maybe it did bring money for some that jumped in early but now majority are wounded. And as I pointed out, that's because the audience was too small. Which shows that sometimes there's rules that MUST BE FOLLOWED with things that aim for sustainability.
YOU MUST ACQUIRE AN AUDIENCE, before you shoot for grand results.
Mainstream shows that again and again. Even twitter, which is actually operating at a loss, is slow at working out how to monetize because making sure that your audience stays attentive means your big plans need that audience to also want to be a part of that.
Because then if your plan doesn't work out or you don't deliver on your promises, doubt spreads silently and people begin to question your ability for achieving what your put down on paper.
As you said though, you won't get a direct answer from anyone else. Definitely not from Leo or the people that continue to pretend nothing is wrong. I'm that guy that people call "a troll" or "negative hater" but I challenge anyone to find flaw in my analysis.
TL;DR?

Not seeing you as a troll based on that reply :-) - I know haters and trolls (but just judging you from your comment which has valid points).
Agree on that by 100%:
It is the ongoing issue of no real #marketing around the #Hive ecosystem - know there is an agency doing sth - no idea on results though. I work in that area professionally (done marketing for WAVES platform as an example - they have a stronger community but also struggle with the usual blockchain problem towards manstream). And Hive is too tiny, can not comment on LEO leaders as I am not that active in here to be honest. Thanks for hinting, appreciated.

This should be a post by itself. As a newcomer to the HIVE ecosystem I can totally see what you're saying, there's not much word about either CUB, HIVE or LEO outside of its own circle, the need for a bigger user base is evident.
