I think this is more than a fair assessment of the situation here. I respect the level of dedication that you've provided for the community and your seemingly eternal optimism.

Bringing in the masses is a really hard problem.

I've noticed in crypto, people like to hop on new shiny things. Also, after some consideration by myself, I'm not sure the blogging aspect of Hive has to be the future. Building infrastructure and making this the ecosystem for devs will go a long way because of the downstream effects. I think the next big moment in Hive will have everything to do with whatever the next big application is built on top of the chain.

Just my two cents.
