It's concerning that you people are trying to onboard new users to Hive just to maintain control and power over the platform and look good.

• This behaviour resembles a Ponzi scheme, where early adopters benefit at the expense of those who join later.

• The real community on Hive seems to be voiceless and powerless, with no say in how the platform is managed.

• Paying people to promote Hive won't change the fact that the platform appears to be a joke to many outsiders looking in.

• Bad Downvotes could be the end of Hive, as they reveal the inherent flaws in the system as a whole and the power that farmers and scammers hold is not good.

• Hive seems to be a lack of true freedom, with certain individuals controlling the platform and its direction without real community input.
