The technology was built and lasted 4+ years. As a collective, Hive is not running incompetently by Steemit INC with the elephant ninjamine hanging over our heads at all times. In this year alone, Hive demonstrated this community could build way faster than the Steem days when everything is on our shoulders. Look at Hivemind's years of production compared to what Hive Core has done with it since Hive's inception. It's not even close. The users will follow once we give them a major reason to. One reason is censorship resistance. However, you can lie about that like Parler, and the rest do. So people are easily tricked. Once we have decentralized tokenized communities, you'll see people adopt the LEO model and flock their entire communities over. Ask yourself this, would Leo Finance be better off if they did not have a token and built their community on Parler? The answer is painfully obvious.

people still don't care about owning their account. it is weird to me but maybe that is living on the edge and thinking is this the day that twitter, fb, youtube will ban me with no reason.
and people are lazy and don't want to click 2 more times to get ownership because keys are hard...
