"Hive is a very young blockchain, just over a year old. Not marketing can also be a choice."

Yes i 'd have to push back a little on this statement. Hive is a very young chain is it really though? I mean i thought it was a fork almost a direct clone of steem with a very high percentage of the same user base. All the accounts on steem existed for the most part on hive. Even before the fork happened the same exact people holding the bigger positions and witnesses were right back there. This to me doesn't feel appropriate to suggest a new chain like it came out of the ether. Some see it as the more real version of steem in any event nothing feels new to me about this chain.

In fact one of my greatest concerns was noticing that the chain was having issues before Justin Sun's arrival and i was wondering if those same exact people forking a chain can i expect anything different than what they were doing prior to Justin Sun.

I'd also like to address the idea of not marketing is a choice. Well i'm not sure that's necessarily true. For example if that Dao were used to create a marketing budget on the scale like you've spoken of if at similar to Dash. Then on that Dao that is a money influenced system. Which means the people with the most money have the most control thats not really democratic or wealth decentralized.

So that means ultimately you would still have a small percentage of people who can pass these projects through. However chances are they won't. is because in many cases if i was a developer. I think of this like my contractor at home. If he wants to build something at my residence he starts proposing he wants to build x. Now in reality the build may not even be necessary. As a contractor his livelihood and job is in building. So developers in crypto sometimes can care more about building and getting a paycheck than the improvement and growth of the chain unfortunately. So overlooking marketing that doesn't line their pockets directly may not be appealing and that may be why they made that choice or didn't make it.
