The overall model of Hive is not perfect, but everyone goes through humbling when it comes to web3. It's the wild wild west there. Over expectations kills the possibility of exploration and betterment.
Anyone cares about Hive, knows the place can literally get better and we've been talking about this all these while, but the witness system can be slow and redundant.
Hive doesn't really need to go mainstream, I just feel that it just needs some decent traction, it doesn't need the whole wide world.
I agree, it's just fine if Hive remains a niche platform that continues to exist and at least hold up and slowly grow over time. I would sign for that.
