I agree about the sentiments toward Hive and the direction, I have found that my comments/wants/desires for change are not as ridiculed when it comes to Hive as they were on Steem. There are no platitudes of why it can't be done, just genuine comments back as to they are working on things that may change.

Two of the biggest Steem no-no's changing the Reputation system and the witness selection and retention system are being worked on, may actually be in HF25,

I wish you luck on your changing priorities yes as we age we do hit that 24 hour road block, for me it was at about age 42. You do get used to the lack of ability to go those 24-48 hour days, and when really needed you will find you can make it every once in awhile.
