beautiful this post, full of interesting observations and statistics. I too am amazed that HIVE is a platform that hasn't exploded yet. However, I must admit that I have shown this platform several people of which more than half are unable to get used to a system that is only slightly more complicated than what a social network like Instagram or Facebook can be. Perhaps there is a need for a generational change, perhaps we will see a good explosion in 2025.
Hive is more complex than other platforms, but that is partly because it is decentralised. We have tools like Keychain to make life easier. People have to put in the work if they want to earn, but it can be fun too.
