This is one of the elephants in the room.
In the not-too-distant past, I used to take some of the things that happen on Hive (like the one you're talking about) personally.
Hive is very important to me and has been one of the most present and important things in my life for the last 8 years.
My friends even made me a sticker with the title “Have I told you about Hive?”
Call me pessimistic, but it makes me very sad to see that for most people, Hive is simply a chain to “ extract” from and valueplan is one of the best proofs.
I believe that either we create economic incentives to build here, or we are already doomed.
I think you are one of many that Hive is more than just a blockchain. I can see the die hards and most active in here are the middle class 50,000 to 200,000 HP . I think some of these users need to maybe join forces like a government party and start having more of a voice .
