Tyrannically minded individuals tend to be more triggered by voices that directly challenge the systems they rely on to steal power. The percentage of people who don't engage in these systems and who also make moves to create change is pretty small - so most people never find out how much censorship takes place online or offline. Hive does at least enable the truth of the situation to come to light and without that it may never be fixed.

I'm not saavy in all of this, can you elaborate for me?

Splinterlands is an example of a Layer 2 project on Hive. These are systems that use Hive's base layer for key functionality, but that have their own economics and rewards systems. There are Layer 2 tokens on Hive Engine already, but they don't tend to go very far because they lack specialised code to create interesting websites to support their needs. This is changing now and we also have VSC smart contracts which will enable anyone to create general smart contracts in line with those supported by Ethereum and Solana etc.

So the short version is that Hive's stable technical foundation can now be built upon to create whatever kind of social app people can think up - including those which regulate their own rewards pools and vote payouts.
