What is your proposal to do next? Have the feeling the witnesses are acting the same as before on Steem. We had a little more alive HIVE at the beginning; Loved the first few days, maybe week or two or so when no auto voting system was connected to HIVE yet. I do think most poeple - in general - are good actors, but when the number of 'bad' actors are increasing, good actors become 'bad' actors as well. Thats what we've seen on Steem, and that is what we see on HIVE as well. I put 'bad' in quotes, since, what is bad? Imho, focus on money is bad for HIVE. Autovoting is bad for HIVE. For reasons as given in the posts and comments, like yours. I start wondering more and more if a social network with monetary rewards will ever became a success. A success in terms of money distribution to good content (long and short form) rather than to 'good' authors. One reason not mentioned why autovoting is bad: Any new user creating good content, not getting on autovoters, will leave as quickly as they came. Maybe they dont leave because they dont get rewards, but they for sure leave because the same users with good or bad content get 10 to 100 times more rewards. We are more than 4 yrs down to road and to me it feels like we hardly learned anything.
