Hive is quite tumultuous these days and I think that the "whales" at the top don't speak about the things that need to happen in order to remediate the current tokenomics. Maybe Hive Fest will bring some awareness and some answers to that, if someone has the courage to ask the though questions.
Yes, with HiveFest, I think they should be able to discuss some of it, that is, if the right people are present and willing to ask the right questions. It shouldn't just be an event to drink and have fun alone, so I hope they realize this.
