RE: "What have the Splinterlands Ever Done For Us" asks the Hive Community

A little soon to be jumping to that conclusion. In a decentralized environment, not getting your way is to be expected and even appreciated. If everyone thought the same way and supported the same things at all times, this would be a cult. Those aren't known to be decentralized.

You're ignoring 23m HP as of this writing. All in support. Roughly 650 votes (small turnout for such a large operation). "Hive users." All of them. "Narrow minded"... ? No. They're not.

Don't worry. I know what it's like to be frustrated. I'm not giving you shit.

Rather than claiming the sky is falling, perhaps find a few words of encouragement. I can guarantee you there are many people and a lot of HP sitting out there, oblivious to all this. And I know they'd be in support of it. If they were to stumble into your words and hear about this for the first time, they'd think it's over and there's no more time to vote.

The main issue is a simple lack of interest when it comes to participating in things like this event. Many are unaware or preconditioned to feel powerless so don't bother lifting a finger. People need to know they matter. If these systems were running at their full potential, that proposal would be backed by thousands of small votes.

Get people involved and you'll see an entirely different picture.
