Hey @lemony-cricket! How you doing :). Let me answer your questions.

Easiest one first: if you feel that Hive has failed as a blogging platform, why have you just made a blog post on Hive?

I literally put this two times in my post lol. I will quote it here for you:

But I write this out of my past love for this community.

This isn't something that only opponents of Hive are guilty of, by the way. Something that really annoys me is when people expect Hive to be things it is not.

Oke if you read my blog post (I have the feeling you have skimmed through it reading your first question), you might see unlike those other OGs, I am trying to give real substance to the failing of Hive. And you comparing me to "other OGs" and adding a metaphor, which is related to how you feel instead of getting into my blog post, frankly doesn't invite me to respond on the substance of your comment.
