Hey thanks for that very personal rationalisation. It's why individuals like you are a type of 'canary in the mine' on the goings ons of this Hive thing.
I agree that I do hit the extremists angle. Which is deliberate because I point of things that should be of serious concern.
Look at LEO for instance.. NOW CONSTANTLY IN 504 ERROR.. yet @khaleelkazi made promises to his community that things were taking long to develop because getting the backend (throughout) strong to handle growth was the focus ... then he said .. "we have achieved it and LEO would handle growth when they focused on growth."
NOW.... finally they're pushing towards community growth... but the whole UI change is clearly not ready and the backend is working against them.
There's talk (blame) on HIVE nodes not coping... but then shit... what did he mean by backend?
If the solution was to build their own node then why did they not foresee that?
Anyway on Ads I have an idea that could work alongside users like you that have a dislike for them... so maybe I'll make a new account and be better mannered with dialogue so as not to get in the negative with rep.
HIVE imo was always going to be years before fruitful harvest so there's a few things moving towards an ecosystem with more to offer them just basic blind votes for text input.
The beauty of this still non existent web3 world is that there's now a multiple of platforms wanting to attract content to their ecosystems, to then boost their exposure.
Good content creators wet dream.
