Well, I have tried to point out these things for years now. While I'm glad you have made the necessary logical connections to understand that crypto isn't money, the internet is a privilege, and speech is a fundamental aspect of humanity (I hope I'm not assuming greater understanding than you are expressing), DPoS also is simply whoever has the gold rules.
That's how Sun took over Steem, and why Hive exists. @ned simply allowed the extant Hive oligarchs to run Steem, instead of doing what Sun did. I find it ludicrous they castigate him as some kind of thief for doing so. His abstention from assumption of solitary control of Steem governance was the only reason it ever appeared decentralized.
That being the case, rather than run away in a tizzy, perhaps you might recognize that those that provide the infrastructure you use to speak on the internet allow you that privilege you have been using, including the oligarchs of Hive.
They appear to be quite dedicated to free speech, if almost as much as they are to their wallets, and despite my incessant decrying their profiteering and pointing out Hive isn't decentralized at all, because the ninjaminers have the necessary tokens to govern as they will, they continue to allow me to post without being flagged into absolute silence.
Actions speak, and they have claimed they intend for Hive to permit free speech by their actions.
Where else will you find that online today?
