Which they are, they are thriving.

That was my bad. I wanted to point out the inability to move your whole operation on social media. You can have a presence there but communicating something important to everyone is simply impossible.

With Hive you could have your own front end that filters posts and updates by relevancy so you can easily catch up even if you were away for weeks.

The community response during the Steemit takeover is a great example of this. There was not a single community on Steemit that didn't know what was going on.

Regarding everything else... Valuation means nothing in crypto. Shiba Inu is currently more valuable than a few Layer 1 blockchains combined. Does that mean it's better?

I tend to look at numbers and growth. Splinterlands is the most played F2P game out there completely outpacing everything else. Sooner or later people will have to realize that this would not be possible on any other blockchain except WAX and a few other names but they still chose to build on Hive...

So why is it so difficult to get people to try Hive?

Splinterlands has 500k active players daily. Getting all of them on Hive wasn't difficult at all I would say.
