I'm not sure if there were a concrete target audience when they designed communities.

But instead we took an already tiny market, then split it up into way more and far tinier sections.

This is the bitter truth, yeah.

Another concern I have is the talk of the Hive token being stripped of functionalities, including the reward pool going away.

In theory, this won't hurt your HIVE assets. But I am not a fan of it either and I don't think we will see that anytime soon.
