There's for sure a number of great applications on Hive but they all seem the lack the flare and the real draw to bring people into the ecosystem. The only application that really kind of started to bring all of that together was Splinterlands a year ago (I have to be honest splinterlands of 2022 was disappointing on all levels) I'm hoping with the shift back that they get back to what made their entire suite of products awesome.
Every application on hive should in introducing some type of revenue format and a vast amount of that going back to creators and users. There's FAR too much I need money to run my project and dipping into the Hive funds (which I don't even think there should be one) If your building a solid product you dump your heart into it, take risks, invest and promote the F out of it as your focus to make it awesome and profitable. Not to ask for funds from the DAO.
