Yes I can understand the desire to switch to a new community entirely.
The irony is that POB is entirely dependent on Hive, so it's no real escape!
Unless POB switched chains, now THAT would be interesting!

Ahh I see.
I suppose as long as the spirit of hive is alive all 2nd layers are safe in terms of not being banned or deleted.
Having 2nd layer for rewards seems to help solve dving on hive, but the 2nd layer can fall into the same thing
DVing didn't happen on LEO for sure, people just held off - there was kind of a silent consensus on not doing it.
The only way to stop yourself being at the mercy of Whales is to Power Up and seek to make a return through curation, no one can take that away.
I can tell you that the average person on POB ISN'T doing that because my vote value keeps going up and I'm only selling about a third of mine on the way up, which means people in general are failing to 'protect their earnings'.
To add to that, one can also make thier own token and community that branches off like LEO/POB did.
It is pretty interesting seeing posts on LEO/PoB make more in terms of USD value than they do on Hive. With dozens or hundreds of communities as active as them we could see a bright future where decentralized communities are where people go who are looking for earning rewards for blogging as the primary reward, and Hive becomming less and less needed for rewards.
I'm sure that was the original idea.
Although with POB I'm not even sure who is behind it so I don't know if I can trust them to do the appropriate development.
