I can answer this question but you may not like the answer. So first you're wrong Hive accidentally or incidentally received what would be equivalent to millions in marketing dollars spent and it didn't work due to inherent flaws in the system itself.

Let me explain during the Justin Sun fiasco, everyone from every corner of the cryptosphere came out of the woodworks. Every exchange.. and everyone had an opinion. The vitalik's the john mccaffee now all these famous big people knew about hive and the situation with Justin Sun.. so what happened to them?

Let me explain something i know for a fact the biggest personalities online know about platforms like hive and mention them from time to time but none really promote it eventhough their platforms are social media.

It would make sense that if your platform is already social media that you'd speak on and promote well put together social media crypto sites. Here's the situation Hive is a well put together social media crypto experience but its cons outweigh its pros. Let me go a little bit more into detail.

if you take someone like Vitalik, his first criticism and biggest issue would be the 20 witnesses he would view this as a great deal not decentralized or secure. I'm not going to go into detail about Justin Sun but some things happen during that situation that didn't exactly make people feel secure.

I would say the next part is the influential control of the network and it's different than what you get on doge and bitcoin centralization of wealth. They all have centralization of wealth but what is problematic for hive is no system presents this as ugly as hive. So the general public often times know this and celebrities and many of the pr going on around hive throughout the space that many in crypto just hate the system. So because they do hate the system often times crypto communities frown upon coverage of hive like products. I know this may sound hard to believe for some of you as many of you this is your very first crypto experience and you like the user friendliness of the site you like the idea a few of you can earn a few bucks.

The problem though is if you've done like i've done and you've spent time in many crypto communities. You find that this is not a shared opinion that the pr of steem and hive like products are horrible. that the market sentiment is really bad. If you don't believe me the data should speak to you on why the coin stays around 200-300 rank and its not due to lack of marketing. These products were once in the top 10 once around billion dollar market caps.. I know some people go no that was hive.. wrong hive is the steem community these are the same people so it's no steem dissapeared and hive just appeared and the entire crypto space went what is that? lol

One of the biggest issues with the hive community is that they focus on the wrong thing. Most are focused on can i make $5 on a post over the future of is this place going to last in a significant way worth participating so far doesn't look good.. 200-300 rankings most would consider that through the history of these projects a decline not an improvement in relation to other coins.

This harkens back to the marketing aspect of you'd probably need a super expensive incentivized marketing plan to try to even convince people to participate. You see the marketing of doge coin and bitcoin has been successful because it doesn't come with the extra baggage. Hive is a very interactive community. The few people that are here engaging amongst each other. It's not like what you'll get on doge coin and bitcoin which is basically jsut a wallet and you make money or you don't. They obviously don't even have any use cases besides that.. Just speculation and bitcoin biggest use is to buy altcoins to do more speculation lol.

The other part is as someone brought up earlier most whales don't even believe in the project beyond let me take some cash out into fiat. So they aren't incentivized to market. Even if you look at both original founders they don't even speak about it.. it's like a nightmare they want to forget lol.. It's a sad reality but i think this needs to be heard if this place wants to survive. If it just wants to do what' its always done be a 300 rank coin next it will be a 500 rank coin because thats where its headed. if it wants to do that then they just ignore info like this. However you asked the question so i gave you an answer.
