Also I forgot to say that I DO agree with you on the community spirit, which exists as the glue of social/connectivity. The flaw though is that in a niche and small scale community a human could manage it, but then growth in the millions is what every platform aims for. Humans managing that is impossible.

Hence again: it must be code based.

Attention retention is actually the biggest asset of any platform which can then be forecasted into future development plans such as advertising and business attraction. Attention retention is Hives biggest problem though and there's no code in place to fix that.

Anyway until then as I said all I see on this alleged greatest Blockchain is patchwork to save it from sinking. 3 years on and SMT is still a ghost. I'm not confident on the move to make hive engine the solution because "no-code" stupid-media-tokens will likely be the outcome. Limiting possibilities.

Anyway imo Hive will always be niche.
The hype days of social rewards are long gone. Plus when content MUST BE ORIGINAL the system is too constricted. Only die-hards stay committed. Not masses.
