I'm curious then.. what is your opinion of an MLM formula for onboarding. Do you see any flaws or do you think it's a good formula?

You seem quite persistent at trying to apply that term to Hive one way or the other.

Let's see:

People believe in hive (almost cult like belief)

If you've been here through the bear market, then you'd be likely to believe the platform has a future.

People to on board their family and friends

I don't think most people around here have done anything to onboard anyone. There is no incentive. When Facebook was new, I saw greater enthusiasm to get family and friends join it.

People to work hard for little or no reward.

This is crypto. Those of us around tend to know that come a bull market, the token price is likely to go much higher than now, largely due to the market in general rather than anything we do.
