Didn't know about most of these things except for BRO. Sadly these days i am too focused on what's happening around BRO.

A few comments about the rest:

1. Vibes: WTF :P
2. Hivewatchers: I consider their contribution quite valuable especially now, with the AI everything is more difficult and we need them
3. DHF: It's about time they do something about it. One of the main reasons Hive's price is like that and a lot of people are feeling disappointed. I am posting and talking about this for years. From what i understand though, no actions yet just words. I will read the post that you mentioned and wait to see if anything will change.

Hive is a great place and needs to shine. Sadly we have a lot of people who are trying to take advantage of it and people with power and at the same time a lot of frustrated people who either leave Hive, or are inactive for long period of times or simply don't bother anymore.

In my humble opinion, Hivefests with like 50-100 people are a joke. Let's just focus on making Hive great and minimize all these cases above and if for once we have a common goal and actions more people will join and more people will also join Hivefests.
