This is why financialization is the enemy of socialization. Principles matter. There are not >10k new users of Hive. It is plainly obvious from @arcange's data. AI has enabled simulating users and this is being done to Hive.
Social media has become the largest financial sector in global markets in the last decade or so. This demonstrates that society, which is people, drives prosperity. Simulating society simulates prosperity. If you want to live in simulated prosperity, simulate society.
If you want people to prosper, prevent simulated socialization. Hive has embraced automating social interactions, and has utterly failed to prosper, to capture actual human users that have driven social interactions to dominate global financial markets. Society is comprised of people, and allowing social interactions to be simulated by automating them utterly destroys society - destroys people.
If Hive does not limit it's use to human beings, Hive will be destroyed because of it. Hive may be able to be a simulation of society running bots, but what use is that to people? Insofar as Hive advances automation of social interactions, it devalues Hive to people. That is what Leo is doing, because Leo can profit financially by pretending to be multiple people when it is actually running bots to simulate people. Eventually what will come of that is an absence of human people on Hive, and a bunch of simulations interacting, which will erase the value of Hive tokens and cause people to use actual social media where people interact with one another.
Infesting Hive with AI and bots is destroying Hive. It can be prevented, but it can only be prevented by enabling people to prosper, and DV's concentrate stake which prevents people from prospering and enables whales to control governance, which is what is happening to Hive today. As long as stake continues to be concentrated and governance controlled by whales, Hive will continue to decline in utility to people.
Thanks!
