I don't disagree. I think many of the largest investors see HIVE more as a fabric blockchain for which popular apps are eventually built. It's not about the social app that is hive.blog. At least that is my take on the things they have said and their actions, because I agree with you that things could be a lot better in terms of actually attracting people and then keeping them here but those changes never seem to be made.
