Dan was the architect of Steem, but he has not touched Hive or responsible of anything that is built on Hive since the split. It is unfair to give him credit for things he had no business in.

It doesn't take away that he understand the fundamentals of hive, and what is wrong. The fundamentals will always stay the same, until this blockchain does not become DPOS. I am not giving him credit for anything (that's a spinoff of what I am writing, probably the echo chamber around here). I am saying he made the fundamentals.

5-10 people? I think it is a lot more combined across all the guilds and groups. @curangel alone has 23+ curators who are actively curating a bunch of posts each every day.

even if it would be 50 people or 100 people, they would be choosing what content deserves attention for the thousands of others. This is not real decentralization and fair.
