This is what I told you Kyle. That this Hive thing is likely going to have to fork away again under different leadership in order to succeed.

This infighting shows how these dinosaurs are hindering growth. Granted the code is still getting developed and people like @aggroed have done much good but this toxic environment will never appeal to a mass audience.

A t20 witness should be trusted and supported by most other t20 witnesses. Yet emotions come in. Egos get flexed. @themarkymark is also clearly butthurt because his sad stem tribe didn't succeed like he envisioned and for that token to exist he had to bow down to the H-E mafia boss.

But it's not just here with these two. Across the chain the cracks are evident. You have an OCD operation thinking that onboarding through seminars is how growth will come. Desperate measures. When really a simple platform 'sign up' is the standard to onboarding everywhere else so Hive shouldn't need people to sit through a 1-2 hour information session to be convinced to join.

Oh but @acidyo is rewarding that with "poshtoken" so that's not a fail. The very users that receive it keep asking what can they do with it and so the awkward silence is the response from acidyo.

Then those clowns on 3Speak think INCENTIVES to DELETE videos is how growth of video usage on Hive will happen. With no damn audience to even get views for the videos. Which, peaks at around 20 video uploads a day. The very people who want to participate have voiced their concern that on their low end system they simply can't even host a tiktok video. But nah @theycallmedan was once a "pro poker player" (so he says) so maybe he'll bluff his way into crushing that evil Alphabet company that allegedly "censored" him for no reason. Even though his old crappy videos are all still on YouTube.

Anyway I could go on.. but if I'm wrong then just point it out to me as I always welcome correction and education where I am wrong.

If I'm right though...
Then sooner.. BEFORE later...
People are going to have to take these issues seriously. Or else.. where is this thing really headed? One year on and it STILL.. ALWAYS trails behind Steem. With those smug Koreans toying with the Hive token like a cat with an exhausted mouse.
