Giving away free tokens from massive inflation has failed. This whole concept has - unequivocally, absolutely and miserably - failed.
When will the developers learn?
Actually that is exactly what is being discussed. Lower inflation, (eventually) move the social rewards to layer 2 rather than causing the massive inflation of HIVE. That feels very much like an active discussion that the core concept needs to be overhauled.
Sometimes it is important to step back and maintain perspective rather than stay in one’s own tunnel vision and not see the threes through the forest anymore.
Now that it's Hive, they want to cut curation rewards by 75%... if that is implemented I'll quit the platform, for good this time.

What is it? Pick an emotion and stick to it?
So you want a complete overhaul but that can not touch the social rewards side? And those rewards can not be free nor come from inflation? Care to explain how that would work???
Don’t rant, give constructive feedback. It may get heard, there’s even a community for that(created by Blocktrades). Alternatively, if it’s an “absolute catastrophe”... why extend your pain and suffering?
Ned is gone, sorry. He never realized his “vision”, oracles were even never spec’ed. Just vaporware. Best he can be remembered for is writing white papers. The “guy with the ideas”. And, not to be forgotten, “I successfully hardforked 4 times in 5 days”. If you want SMTs, it will happen on Hive, not in Ned’s backyard.
Like I have mentioned, I have given thousands of pages of constructive feedback over the last 4 years. But you're right, I should probably just quit. Wish you all the best.
Personally, I think it's the wrong time to quit. The discussion in moving in a healthy direction. It will bring SMTs, an internal market, and allow to lower inflation all while opening new token utility opportunities.
Will it be speedy? No, sadly enough not. But after all the patience we've brought up already, sure we can stomach some more months. This is a new dynamic after all and still needs to find its feet - and probably long-term vision.
Doesn't seem everyone (of leading stakeholders and devs) is fully convinced already but the tone is moving forward in a way I've never experienced before yet in this community. The experiment is almost over or should I say almost moved to the dapps level who will then be responsible for generating token value, moderating, and countering maximization within their own niche/platform.
I don't think being here has ever been as healthy (maybe in first half year after launch) as is now. And I don't say that lightly after past 2-3 years.
Thank you for your optimism, but I simply do not share it. I'll hope for the best, and maybe in 2-3 years Hive will bring something valuable to the crypto space. Until then, peace out.
(I'll continue to curate, for now, but the way it's going, I expect to wind that down in the coming months)
