I remember that during the #HHHLive show you mentioned DLive and how they left for another blockchain to find their "happiness"... Also, I remember another example where the game that was being built went to another blockchain, where they offered some "free tokens" if they moved there. Both of these examples failed... It wasn't the underlying blockchain that was the problem, but the project that was built and managed wrong...
Yes, Hive has its issues, and yes we don't have smart contracts (yet), but it has longevity, it has the dedication of people building it and maintaining... These new shiny blockchains come and go, but HIVE has "proof of surviving"... I found @yabapmatt's speech from HiveFest very inspiring and a very good reminder for answering the question... "Why HIVE?"
