I wrote a previous post asking the same thing. I asked the question in general and got a couple of replies.
@thehive/what-is-hive-sq04v4

There is a list there of the things most commonly said when the question is asked.
The common thing among them is the leaning toward saying the good thing. That is part of the mental problem with Hive. Everyone wants to avoid talking about what it fails at.
Brush it under the rug. Ignore it until it cannot be ignored and then insist you get the resources and HBD to fix it. Bit too much in familiarity with the Biden admin. Do nothing unless you can keep control of it.

The above can be read with a thought of sour grapes. I didn't get the support so many other things that failed did.

A waste of finance to cover ignorance.

With all of the people I have talked with. I have met no other with an equal enthusiasm as myself, about what Hive could do.
You will not meet anyone else on Hive with a clearer vision of what Hive can do.

The goal of Hive should be to be a part of every part of life. Everything else is a department within.

What is Hive?

Hive is a great example of great potential. Unfortunately, the potential is wasted.

Blogging.

This has its purpose. It is the first point of token distribution. Gradually this in appearance is levelling out on different heights.
The rewards provided from blogging disperse the Hive tokens around the world. Distributed rewards for actions and Hive Power. Sometimes just one other both.
Everyone has an opinion on how you should use yours and when not to. (Not really, but there is always the few).
The end result to blogging is CASH OUT.

No one can fault that. We all at some point cash out some and in some cases all.

Games.

Games also help with distribution of tokens. In many cases if not all add multiple new tokens to the exchanges available on chain.
The mindset behind games is it will bring new people to the chain that do not blog. To some degree yes. But the biggest target group available is still a small audience.
Game tokens do also offer distribution dispersal. Some not blogging will still play games and turn the game token to HIVE to CASH OUT. Adding to down pressure.

Economy.

The economy of the chain I question.
When the subsidy to the chain is provided by the chain. It does not give a true representation of strength.
There is an ever increasing downward pressure with no constructive measures to counter cash outs.

Just looking at those few things.
Why would any business take risk on utilising Hive.
Any serious company would do their research see these things. Walk away and never return.

Everything about Hive is a milking farm with a cow in a small field running out of grass.

I got a DM today in Discord.

Already done im done with hive there are some bad players and im not vowing my time to help them get richer so no call tomorrow, im sorry it has to go like this.

I must admit, I have felt the same thing over the years here.

Last night gave me the same feeling, Why bother?

There was quite a few people at the Crypto show in the Hive server last night. Many names I gave not seen for a while. All of the names I have at some point, touched on the topic of Hives future. All of the time falling on deaf ears.

Last nights show the same Idea mentioned by another got a great response, from those same ears.

The credit for the idea goes to someone else now. Although it is a watered down idea and does not start with a solid foundation.

There is much more to the things I have said than just the ripples on the surface of a deep lake. The project mentioned in the show is a private venture getting support from the chain.

Everything I have said gives ownership to the chain. Who gets to hold a position in the project is decided by the community's plural. That roles in to governance.
There's a post in itself to write on governance
The road map is there just not the who holds position. Positions held by contract and accountability.

I see the pitfalls in doing things differently. For trying to take the simplest method and making it work. It will not.

But should I say anything?
When no questions are directed toward me for a project no longer mine.

I have developed and improved the concept and put the theory to action with positive results twice. No loss to anyone who provided some finance.
