Given that most small value accounts can only really earn anything of value by curating, I find it disappointing that yet again the developers seem to want to penalise those lower down the food chain. When (H4?) was implemented on Steem I stopped using the platform because honest bloggers like myself who do not use bots or pay for upvotes spent hours creating reams of text in the vain hope of being recognised as this mythical "Good Content" saw the rewards for that hard work realised in paltry cents rather than the insane dollars some utter crap post receives.
To be honest, when everyone screamed that we should all leave Steem and come to the all-new Hive that supposedly had a new mindset and new community spirit I did wonder how that was going to happen when ostensibly the very same people who were developing and maintaining Steem had simply changed their flag of allegiance.
Rather than changing the people, which is what most failing enterprises do, those holding the reins seem intent on changing process yet again and not how the ship is steered.
Maybe we need a change in management?
Unfortunately, this chain is as good as its stakeholders, and evidently most of the whales here have always been kinda apathetic. In a public corporation failing this hard, they would have changed the management (top witnesses) a long time ago. Here, though, it's been the same people at the top for the last 4 years with almost no progress. Whales clearly don't care, otherwise they would have voted in better witnesses. Or maybe, there aren't even better witnesses... Either way, the entire thing has been quite the failure, starting with governance.
Well, I have to agree with you on the "Change of Management" front however many of my peers who (Hopefully) know far more about Hive and the Blockchain than I do seem to think I'm wrong in my assessment. 🤷♂️
