Engagement generally seems down everywhere, it's not helping that HIVE is dithering at 21c when many other coins are increasing in value. There are too many small music communities that should merge, I did my part a while ago. I'm sure there are more out there.

yeah agree - either joining forces or in the name of the chain and coin prize success get rid of reward pool for content? We will see :-)
I'm a little depressed about the state of HIVE right now tbh, it all seems so stale.
and of course requires professional marketing, that costs a bit, if we would be a comany someone decides on invest, as community naturally difficult - so either a BIG man or a community, frustrating a bit as decentralized and centralized both have their advantages in some cases
Our witnesses do not believe in the BIG man. Nobody takes up the challenge of running a startup business. Nobody is taking up the launch of some darn good service with HIVE as a chain, when access to the witnesses and the large stakeholders is darn difficult. I think only money rules, so when someone comes and buys a few million HIVE, then suddenly the whole community (including the power users and witnesses) is addressable. But why would someone invest that amount into HIVE?
I agree with you and someone did come along to invest in STEEM, a billionaire with capital to invest but we all know what happened there.
When you break it down, Hive is basically the underlying technology that allows people to build dapps on. It should be marketed to developers, then those dapps market to their end users.
If no-one steps up or believes in the "big man", then we have a problem because things will get stale, fast, like they have done, with a handful (maybe a couple of hundred out of the 3,500 active users) being active trying to promote on twitter but it's mostly an echo chamber.
With Hive code being open source, I just wonder if someone or company with deep pockets is watching this and will use the tech to drive their own vision forward with it all using the same rewards model or better iteration.
To some extent, you need a leader/driver to take things forward - Steemit created the tech and were the lead developers but Steem was just a poorly managed operation, which is a shame. Where are we going with Hive?
This is what I am talking about since we have Hive - de-centralized and community driven sounds great but....
You can have both though, that's the thing. Something can still be community driven with feedback from users and the lead developers/owners can act on it with the resources they have.

Yep - I thing the chain is great, fast, secure - this platform thing is not helping to get investors - especially now we have Steem, Hive, Blurt and more to see - none of them is successful
Not to mention also Tsu and Voice will be coming on to challenge.
