I discount my stake because there are only a few hundred active people with a stake larger than mine and getting them to agree on something is like herding cats. It's understandable why people power down or avoid investing in Hive.

I've spoken with some people before about marketing and analytics but my concerns fell on deaf ears. As someone with a background in this stuff I was virtually ignored. Some of these people can't analyze their way out of a paper bag (they are IT workers not financial analysts) and don't want to give up any shred of power to someone who can.

Who wants to be told that the rally car is the dumbest marketing idea since New Coke- people who watch that sport might not be our target audience, there are zero analytics on the impact of that advertising versus other types, so give it up! (Maybe they don't because of corruption.)

They don't even have a plan except to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Spending funds on random events in the third world is not a good use of funds- they share no way of judging the impact of the proposal on hive's value because they know it's negative accounting for the inflation.

They are scaring away people with funds from investing and the price of Hive continues to drop surprisingly faster than the inflation as people with HP give up. What's the point in participating in governance here, to protect my $4000 investment? I could make a better return mowing lawns...
