I care about Hive but I can say from entrenched experience that it is no longer builder friendly.
The corrosive mindset of using funds to pay for friends to maintain the status quo has continued to get worse. I still have hope it changes and I still build/maintain INLEO as the LEO ecosystem’s hive branch.
Outside of that, it’s really tough to build things here without having your own profit centers.
Even when you do that, it’s attacked. INLEO premium is one of the few successful means that any hive project has shown to monetize itself. Some from hive have tried to punish users for going premium. Why? I can only point to an anti-business mindset.
Not trash talking. Just saying that this must be fixed before hive can succeed. Builders don’t feel comfortable here anymore. Dcity is gone. Beeswap conversions are gone. Countless other projects have shuttered
What if something major leaves completely? Splinterlands. Hive engine. INLEO. What will happen if the big projects eventually leave? So far, we’re all surviving and building continuously but that can’t last forever in this anti-business environment. Meanwhile, Vaporware and maintenance is getting funded on the DHF and leaking economic value from Hive.
Hope this changes! I still believe it could.
