I discovered Blurt first before stumbling on Hive. It's actually through Dtube that I learnt about Blurt, Hive and Steem through the sign up options.

At that time, Hive seemed to be the best route to explore for me given its story and proposed potential resonated more to me than the other two. I think there's an actual shot for Hive becoming a sustainable and thriving ecosystem for creators, builders, investors etc. It has the capabilities for that but when I look at it from a realistic perspective now, I'm not always so sure. Humans are messy creatures who'll rather piss on the bowl they've already made use of instead of leaving it for others to also make use of when they're done for.

But I do echo what valued-customer mentioned with regards to the oligarchy eventually not wielding much power as they do now. Networks can be incredibly resilient, outflux and influx are constant processes, old gives way to the new, etc.

I think you could still be here while also being on Blurt, becoming multi-dimensional/platform is a good choice to make as I'm also beginning to understand its value. I will check up on Blurt again and wish you all the best in whichever direction you choose to pursue :)
