You know there's some early internet webpages still attracting traffic. B.boards are still utilised. IRC still very popular. Etc..

PEOPLE POWER!

We give life 2 systems.
Humans are the nuclei.

That's why I believe even if Hive never becomes what many dream it will, it will still be online. Which is the double edge sword. Because sharks can continue to sell hope.. and people committed continue to donate their time when their efforts would likely be better rewarded elsewhere.

I see that already.

When a platform forces its community to be the workers pushing marketing.. then that's a troubling sign that it's not expanding but actually shrinking and relying on remedies rather than a superior model of growth. Imo, the current system of "social with rewards" is very broken. Missing so much to retain attention. Things move too slow here, lots of talk about what this could be but not much else.
