I thought burning Hive helps hive, well at least on Steemit that's what was often said. If so why help them?

The thought had entered my head a few days ago when GP put out that scam alert that maybe those were abandon accounts and somehow it was figured out a way to drain them. Complaining about this play is blowing wind, one reason I say decentralization would actually be worse than centralization. A bunch of hoodlums running wild on everyone. Anyway GP said hurry and change over your recovery account to Hive if you still have steemit as a recovery account. Not that what I have is a big deal but still why let robber barons have it so I go to the link that he said was easy to understand, done in three languages and should get you through the process. Nope. Doesn't work. Came up saying my active key wasn't valid or something of that nature. Thing was it never asked for the active key. Now I guess I'd have to go on Discord which I am not downloading that thing again. The reason I thought about a proposed scam also being a scam is they probably have a way that once accounts have been dumped for years they can use the recovery process to get all those accounts that have hive just sitting there in small amounts add up to a bigger amount because it certainly didn't work out as described. Up late with grand kids, probably not making any sense and should go to bed....lol. Yeah you are burning the midnight oil on this one.
