peakd is cool and the best hive front end. 150$ a day are ok and "worth". But hive itself has a problem no proposal or things build on hive are build to scale or making any revenue and become sustainable on its own.

Its not a business depending forever on DAO handouts. IMO it needs more drastic changes to be competitive ( 150$ for a transition timeframe is a nobrainer, even more).

Close to every DAO funding project failed to deliver or add meaningful value to the ecosystem. Everything feels at best as " proof of concept" projects.

IMO without a revenue path, that benefits the project + attracts users every project is a net negative.

4k a month should be easy doable with some smart work on revenue.

Not a single project on hive has a reason to scale ( it costs money twice since accounts not free). I say it for years. Thats IMO the elephant in the room to make it sustainable on its own.

Not build "cool" tools maybe 50 people use. The "good" part on hive is, the content itself does not follow crypto cycles and designed right it could stay independent and become a reliable revenue source.

Just my 2 cents to it, if peakd ( even if i like it) is not able to keep the lights without DAO money, its maybe a failed project already.
