A lot of good points here @taskmaster4450.
Organic growth takes time.
A long time ago, and not related to the blockchain space, I remember talking to a seasoned social media maven about building followings and creating a brand. I think it's precisely true in the case of centralization vs decentralization, as well... it's patience that wins. In that original discussion, my friend's point was that you can buy 10,000 followers on twitter and instantly "have the numbers," but all you have is shell accounts and bots, not actual followers, just like JS and his TRON apps.
It's one of the reasons I often add a cautionary voice to the discussions where people argue that the future of Hive (or any site like this) is to build lots of dApps. That's all good and fine, but who's going to USE them? That's like being proud that you have a shopping mall with 500 stores... but what good is that if there are no shoppers?
Projects (essentially) run by developers run the risk of ending up with a rather narrow of myopic view of reality... typically some version of "you can CODE your way to success." No. No, you can't. As you point out here, it is ultimately engaged communities that bring the success....
A lot of the DApps are now being run by entrepreneurs not coders. This is a major shift.
