Yes, but at a certain point they are going to realize that this is a hole in the ship. Some of them anyway. All it takes is one or two of the right people to say “hey guys、 enough”. Not necessarily a whale either. It’s could be someone who has everyone’s respect for their onboarding effort or a dev who doesn’t have as much stake.

I don’t see hive that way. Not yet anyway. Gentrification may come but that will be a different generation of whales. It's a year or three away.

Steemit was an utter shit show. It was way worse than this and we loved it because it was something different. It got better because eventually people see that building a healthy ecosystem requires certain sacrifices.

They need someone from in their circles to make the case that this is going to scare people away from hive and the worse it gets, the sooner that case will be made.

I hate that they let it go on for so long first though. A lot of it is due to ideological dogma I think. People get really attached to their philosophies. Those without power argue them, and those with power just ignore us little people.

But this will get better, I promise. I’ve seen it too many times at this chain. I’m just trying to make sure they don’t scare away my friends before that happens.
