people are leaving fb because of control,

Fb show pushy ads, do we? Fb forcefully delete your post and even sometimes wiping out your account, do we? Do people play NFT games with only fb login?

they won't come to another controlling platform for the purposes of free speech,

Someone was blacklisted by spamminator for obvious reasons. He still have $1000 in Hive Power. He earns curation rewards. He plays splinterlands and all dapps of hive. He even still post of 2nd layer solutions and earn there token. If you do this with utube or Facebook they will just cut off everything. We have given you control if you play the game by rules. If you wanna be a player, you can't hate the game.

If you wanna make a change, play the game by rules, become big player and make new rules.

completely agree.

What is Hive controlling? We don't have a magical printer to print money. Consider it like a stake in company. The people with highest stake can make rules, just like directors of companies. Even the small fishes can agree of one thing and fight with big whales. This is the problem from "Meh Rewards" group also since they can't get together on one thing. Welcome to web 3.0.
