Hive will be more decentralized, less authoritarian in scope. We already have governments and central banks breathing down our necks, so why welcome a heavy handed thug from a communist country to influence a blockchain centered around free speech and fair play? Sun has been a bully and a snake from day one. Taskmaster4450 does a great job explaining why this split is necessary :)
Your stance baffles everyone I know, because you've always been outspoken against tyranny and centralization. Everyone likes and respects you, but it truly seems you're not paying attention on this one.

For the passed +3 years, I have been pushing relentlessly for a coordinated approach from the Steem Community to Market Steem and no one seems to be bothered.
I certainly have had no help or support despite funding the promotion of Steem out of my own pocket to the tune of approx. £6k.
On top of this, for the past +2 years, I have been warning about the lack of Commercial Awareness in the Steem Community and again, totally ignored.
I know exactly what is going on and sadly no one has convinced me yet that anything will change.
Despite explaining on countless occasions that the Marketing and Promotion of Steem, if done right, shouldn't actually cost a single penny, I have sadly come to the conclusion that no one really cares apart from short term gains for their own benefit.

All good points. I'm also disappointed and concerned about the lack of marketing!
Speaks volumes and clearly shows no support from the Community.
It's been like this for a long time and I cannot see anything changing.
