That @dapplr example is clear as day though.
Clearly @ecency said NOPE! I'M THE ONLY MOBILE APP that gets to suck off 'da crew' for some nectar.

That's why all that you say about "Hive is great now" does make a good point (albeit celebrating steemit demise) but means little to the majority of users that continue to be meaningless here.

It boils down to "BUY YOUR POSITION or STFU... or don't STFU, because no one hears you anyway."

Or I guess your suggestion is "BEG to the right people, or lick ass is your last option."

Anyway COMMUNITIES is the gem still but it feels like they just exist as little community gardens by the city limits. The more the INNER CITY benefits the more pollution in the system and then those gardens suffer and struggle to grow.
