The thing is, if you wanna change things here on Hive you have to be part of the Hive-powers-that-be. Meaning you have to be a whale and with a large voting power (and perhaps even a witness) because otherwise they will gang up on you and downvote every post you make. Now if someone's purpose here is to make money (and share big upvotes to others) that will put a damper on that person's enthusiasm to even write and be here at all.
The purpose of Hive has always been to earn money from it. This is why Steemit got a lot of users who wrote stuff and eventually Hive. Despite the whales, curators and community moderators saying it isn't so, it is. No one will even want to be here if they won't be upvoted. Whales preferring that we write long content and then you see spam and short content getting more than $10 upvotes. Hahaha. What a joke right? This is why I don't bother onboarding people for the longest time.
All the good ones curators/supporters are gone. Like minnowsupport and other group/curators. Or only a trickle remain, the vestiges of previous groups/curators. This is why Hive has become a toxic place to be in. Those that remain and run the place don't care much about others if one does not follow their rules. Dictatorial much. Haha.
Oh well if you can make a change then that's well and good. God bless your efforts to change things on here.
