RE: Poll Find Reveals Startling Findings Around the Hive Community.

I quite agree with this. However, there are less considered reasons that are apparent for these policies at first glance. Hive was created as an emergency flight from Steem, that was captured by means of concentrating stake in a hostile takeover, and because Steem, and Hive still, are plutocracies, this is an inevitable hazard the specific features of the platform inculcate. As a means of preventing exactly that hazard from eventuating, several of the listed drawbacks are actually deliberate policies implemented by stakeholders to secure their enjoyment of ROI through rewards pool shenanigans from outside capital, by the simple mechanism of preventing growth and attracting bigger predators than the little sharks in our little pond.

"...basically the crocks of the situation..."

The right word for the application here is crux, although I may be missing a deliberate substitution of crocks in order to denigrate policies being discussed.

Thanks!
