"There's no point in fighting concrete..."
This is fallacious. I destroy concrete regularly with my own manual efforts, turning sidewalks and slabs into retaining walls with a sledge hammer. Stone is far less obdurate than human will, and this metaphor is relevant particularly to institutions, because nothing is more malleable than code, law, or religion.
"Blurt currently has all the solutions you're talking about..."
No, it doesn't. There isn't any mechanism to enable investors to attain ROI without deranging curation with pecuniary interest, such as HBD interest bearing savings accounts. This is a lack of prudential potential Blurt! has yet to address, IMHO. I think it's the reason substantial investment eludes the platform (although there are others as well).
"It's incomprehensible to me that people like you want to keep digging in here..."
There is a community of people here I have enjoyed for most of a decade. I have made many (online) friendships, learned a great deal, and many people have expressed gratitude and affection for what I have shared with them as well. If you have no sense of community and friendship that strengthens your commitment to Blurt!, whatever your actual purpose and association is remains obscure and opaque to me, because it isn't either pecuniary interest, since Blurt! has little financial capitalization for profiteers to tap into.
"It's just a matter of understanding that instead of trying to smash your head into concrete, it's worth simply going around the wall"
I don't bust concrete with my head, and I don't avoid building materials I need to make what my friends and neighbors need. Simplistic aphorisms aren't pithy if they avoid substance, and while brevity is the soul of wit, it's not adequate to convey nominal business plans that must deal with the devils in details.
You don't address the centralization of stake on Blurt! that renders it no less the at will possession of it's ruler(s) than Steem is Sun's or Hive it's ~36 whales. I wish Blurt! no ill, but absent the ability to attract investment and also to distribute stake while insulating governance from that influence - which is perhaps an unattainable goal, as wealth creates power to rule - Blurt! does not solve the problems Hive, nor Steem, have.
I appreciate you having different views, but you haven't substantially addressed specific mechanisms that shows that Blurt! resolves issues on Hive, but have merely pejoratively and dismissively implied it has, and anyone that doesn't shlep immediately to Blurt! and grovel before it's stakeholder(s) that run it are fools. That's not how to win friends and influence people, at least not me. If you do make the effort to detail specific solutions to the particular problems I have alluded to Blurt! has, I'd be interested in hearing them. Trying to imply such specifics with homilial aphorisms won't rise to that bar.
Edit: I don't understand this sentence:
"...mechanisms that reward voting for content and also for content over time, which eliminates the greed factor because the voter then gains nothing."
There is no related detail that reveals how such mechanism(s) 'eliminate greed'.
