I'm boggled with your "where the fuck have these people been" comment. We still are at rock bottom in terms of price, usage, applications, and developers. If people come and go from the platform, is it fair and wise to assume and pronounce that it's because of the price? For those who have seen the inner workings and politics within the echo chamber, sometimes people simply need a break from the discouraging behavior and communication... and they're free to come and go when they feel inspired to return... not slandered. If you must, Steem used to be ~$8. With little developmental progress over the last year with a single page of barely-adopted lasting applications (and even since 2017 on Steem) , price is probably Hive's best form of marketing in the short-term if we're realistic here anyway.

I had the mental image of users still leaving and dissing the place then coming back just for price reasons. Suddenly it's worth their time to make a few paragraphs, get autovotes, and wait for the 7th day paycheck. It's not like that system has change. We got a lot of happenings going on within the span of a year, more progress than the old chain used to have. This price increase is just a hype then people will start losing the dopamine once bear season comes.
I don't know about the politics you speak of. None of those things interest me as an average user just doing my thing. Perhaps a people's choice to choose their own source of stress over the platform. Telling you one thing though, this is a hobby chain and I put my money in it and watch it fail, still in it because it's just hobby money spent, nice to see prices soar but I don't mind it losing a bit, more cheap hive for my blockchain games.
The money printer without the need to buying stake as it can be freely given by a click was our best form of marketing.
