Sorry but acid has done a lot for Hive itself and growing a supporting community. I don't know the full details but I trust his judgment to be honest. That's nothing personal against you as I don't know you well enough yet, what you do etc.
Most hostility comes from Whales abusing the system. Instead of building, creating and engaging they simply cash out and abuse the DAO that's the only issue I have with Hive at the moment.
