Of course it's disappointing, though tbh it's not surprising. When I originally joined Steemit I saw the "user generated content" and "social media influencer" wave coming and thought that everyone would become a content creator to a degree. So I was half right haha. I also thought that Steem would be natural for integrating into the apps those people used. I eventually learned, though I didn't realize it for a long time, that this vision I had for Steem was quite at odds with the creators. They didn't design Steem to be integrated into apps other than Steemit, and only pivoted in that direction much later and very reluctantly. Many of the problems can be traced back to those early decisions IMO, but that doesn't mean Hive can't still be a valuable corner of the internet! But it is not my intent to get involved in the politics or drama of Hive. I'm here as a user and ideally nothing more.
