I'm really excited about the growth in Hive, and will have to check out some of those games you mentioned (Rabona, and Exode) as I already enjoy playing many games on Hive. Not thrilled w/ us attracting conspiracy spreaders (you can call them truthers, I call them agents of misinformation - many with dubious intent). There is room for all, but I would hate for such a group to become the "face" of Hive to a lot of newbies.
So the "face of something", to me means, the thing most people first see when they encounter something for the first time - the first impression. For me, that was OCD, and it was an inviting place with a wide range of topics. If my first encounter had been some hub for Pizzagate/Qnon/Russian Trolls I would have clicked "back" and likely would have a lasting bad impression of Hive.
It is like the internet, there are billions of web pages out there.
Even with a following, how are they going to be the "face" of hive. What is the face of hive now? If you come through leofinance, it is drastically different from Dporn or Splinterlands.
The first and the last have rather big followings (Dporn not so much) yet rarely overlap. Sure there are leos who are into Splinterlands but that is not the majority.
Even if they brought that 300K followers, who would be mostly readers and likely not have accounts, what is to say that a year from now, that will even be anywhere near the biggest account?
They will not even show up on the feeds of most people unless interested in that. There is a lot of material posted on Hive each day that I dont see, nor do you. It is impossible to come across 5,000 different posts or whatever are made a day here.
Most of the tribes, whatever is posted in them, I dont know about since I dont subscribe. This one will not be much different.
If they remain the fringe, I'm fine with that. I'm a worrier by nature, and I see the potential for big money backed disinformation groups pushing agendas here that could twist what is a great platform into a propaganda tool. They are on Twitter, they are on Youtube, it is just a mater of time before they turn their attention here if they haven't already.

Many would say this description fits many mainstream institutions, including governments.
So once again, perspective.
What would you prefer is the face of Hive?
What does that even mean?

dporn... omg, didn't know that existed. lol.
I see your point especially as Hive continues to become more diverse and less about blogging.
