I am not pleased about Web 2 methods creeping in on Web 3, and I am also not pleased that Hivers with products and publications were not offered the first chance to invest in the platform in this way. Because of the nature of the crypto cycle, there is a danger that if this takes off, the temptation to dependency on Google will become the same bane it is in Web 2. I understand that we need revenue. But we need to remember who we claim to be as a community, and not set ourselves up to depend on the same centralized corporations we're supposed to be free from.

As a functional matter ... that ad at the bottom is horrendously in the way.

Being better than Google is a low bar ... being more ACCESSIBLE than Google is a higher bar, granted. I understand the challenge ... but there IS a crypto bull run going on. DASH and WAX have projects Hive has worked with, and Cardano is running projects that have good overlap with some things Hive is doing. Bisq and Metamask are fairly decentralized as wallets for Bitcoin and Ethereum respectively, since the coming convos about a HBD-ETH-BTC bridge are out there.

Every crypto project, IN THEORY, is connected to a site -- whitepapers, team members, etc. See Coingecko.com for what I mean. Click on any reputable crypto you like, and you'll see: each of them is also a little tech business. Just like Hive, they have projects they want people to know about. Coin Market Calendar is another good site to see this in action. SO: with those already working with Hive, we could easily cross-pollinate our marketing strategies.
