We could almost subscribe 100% of what you wrote there. We disagree on the fact that Hive is failing though.
Hive is in its infancy, or in the best case scenario in some sort of irreverent teenage stage. There's still a huge margin for growth and improvement.

What we wrote was simply an attempt to guide people around, and to allow them to understand the echosystem they are in. We don't have to necessarily agree with it to try to help our black and white community members to achieve better results and visibility. Specially when we are in no position to change anything regarding that said echosystem.
