I get what you are saying with Leo. There has been some stuff that hasn't played out and I don't know how many people are part of the team and if it is more about being overloaded.
Well DTube isn't really on HIVE. It's on it's own chain but it can multi post to HIVE, Blurt, and STEEM. https://dtube.app/
There are a lot of UI issues and when Ionomy went down and the bridge went down several leaders dropped out and it halted the chain and the remaining leaders ultimately had to fork it to get it back up and rolling. The original Dev left 2 years ago and so we have been on life support.
Where I'm seeing the value in it for myself is I have a chain that has human readable usernames that I have more control over.
From the jump with a lot of the stuff I don't feel like I can get a sizeable amount so that if I put a ton of work in it won't matter.
That is one of the big reasons I really got behind Dogecoin before last cycle. It had generally been abandoned so I felt my marketing would make a tangible impact.
Another project that seems like they have some positive things going on that I haven't fully figured out the whole ecosystems is. https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/undeads-games
Seems like gaming and some of the socials and NFTs which I think can certainly be a good combo.
Thanks for the info!
