There's a huge number of problems with the Tribes.

Many of the tribes were launched as get rich quick schemes. They had buggy cookie cutter code that was difficult to support or extend.

They had airdrops that gave huge amounts of coin to HIVE whales (as if the whales needed more money).

The whales thwarted efforts by people to have focus. This led to tag spam. People would use every coin tag in every post.

I wrote the post above. I make sure that the key words are relevant to the post. The post is about #hive-engine coins. I wrote the post by hand. It mentions #VYB and #POB. I created a #MEME NFT for the post.

I really did not take much interest in the tribe coins until after their collapse. They still have value for the few people who truly care about the platform
