Hive for me is learning out of history, an attempt to fight plutocracy, a fight for true decentralization, a place where whales and witnesses are seriously caring for their community which is not forced to subject itself to the (trending) mainstream. I want to see Hive as a place of open communication where free speech is not dependent of someone's up-votes to make quick money.

Free speech has never been dependent on anyone's upvotes on Steem. Trending is a front end feature. DPoS is plutocracy at the very core. The distribution of tokens must be towards value generating activities across a large enough number of people for the protocol to be viable in the long term.
There are limits of free speech, if one is only within one's own echo chamber there might not be any incentive go beyond one's social peer group; if one does, meaning entering the territories of forbidden knowledge one will have to pay the price
