I remember a thing called HiveTips that actually worked and I was using quite a bit on various platforms like Twitter/X and YouTube until they got all weird and stopped supporting their code. Even helped with the marketing plan they never put in place LOL!

I mentioned downvotes because you brought up whale fear and thought that was what you were alluding to 😁 and I don't disagree with them being here either, just was my train of thought.

there has been very little focus placed on attracting the crowd that does the tipping.

This is weighing on my mind. And I will refer back to the marketing plan that never went into effect for the other thing. I believe full and well, given the proper strategy, that audience already exists and would arrive with a place to call to home like we do. There is still a huge displace between traditional web2 socials and the new web3s. Once the learning curve is tackled and it's placed in a way people can understand, without fear of that new thing (because pack mentality fears change), then the S.O.S. (Shiny Object Syndrome) will set in and people won't be able to get enough of what Hive has to offer.
