!HOPE that more people on Hive are onboard not just regular bloggers and/or investors here on the blockchain, but also large investors that are able to become Hive Whales (or at least Orcas or Dolphins) soon after they join !INDEED, but I really think that it's not the case (at least at the moment). 🤔🧘♂️🤯

Many people come to Hive, while sadly very few end up staying. Hive is presently in a very precarious place, and I'm praying that it can be turned around in time. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I !INDEED think that people on Hive should allocate their efforts more into user retention, and not just onboarding new users. 🤔🧘♂️🤯🤗

Correct, otherwise it's like water through a sieve. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There are already several thousands of HBD that have been spent on Hive proposals just for user onboarding. 🤔💸🤯 I wonder how much would be needed for user retention. 💸🤯
Anyway, I have the feeling that you know someone in your local jungle community who has (accidentally or intentionally) tried to collect water with a sieve !INDEED. 🤔🤯🤯😅

I'm almost getting to the point where I won't be supporting any proposals for a while. The blockchain is being bled dry, and the DHF nonsense is one of the main culprits. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I would tell @savvyplayer (who is my voting proxy for Hive Witnesses and Hive Proposals) to remove their votes on many proposals (and keep their votes on the Return Proposal). 🤔🤯 While many Hive Proposals have goals that are good enough (and are mostly being met), the funding they ask (per day) seems so big !INDEED. 🤯🤯
Maybe there would be a Hive funding proposal where (some of) the HBD on the Decentralized Hive Fund (DHF) will be used to increase the price of the HIVE token (through several ways such as buying and burning HIVE tokens), though that idea seems !WILD at the moment without more detailed planning and analysis. 💸🤯😅

That's probably a good idea at the moment. Yes, I like the idea of many Hive Proposals, but the amounts paid are ridiculous.
That would likely be quite helpful, and there is one proposal there that intends to burn all the requested HBD if the proposal passes. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I remember @savvytester asking me to remove my votes on most Hive Proposals about 2 days ago, that I forgot until I saw your reply to their comment on #HiveEngage. 🤯
I still like to use the #Ecency frontend despite all its technical problems, but the ~400 HBD being asked per day and still no major bug fixes (and new bugs appearing roughly every month) seems high enough, especially with the price of the HIVE token being near its all-time low (ATL). 💸 The same goes with #PeakD and other popular Hive frontends, and projects such as #HiveKeychain and #HiveBuzz. 🤯 PeakD and Hive Keychain are good Hive apps, but each separately asking for at least 600 HBD seems a lot. 💸 We (including @savvytester) have been talking about good Hive apps deserving funding after they become available for public use and are FOSS. 🧘♂️ A Hive app that finally releases an updated FOSS reproducible build (for Android and Linux) however would make me vote again for their proposal even if they ask for a lot of funding in return. 😎
I literally just removed my votes on all Hive Proposals, except the Return Proposal and the other Proposal you mentioned which will burn 10,000 HBD every 3 days by sending them all to the null account if passed. 🤔 I would still try to keep my Hive Witness Votes at 30, with priority for those below the Top 20. 😏
There might be another (very) !WILD proposal (soon) in the future, which when passed will literally empty all the HBD in the DHF in just a day. 🤯🤓 A less "wild" proposal would be what @savvytester mentioned on the parent comment on your reply there, which is to use the DHF to buy and burn HBD after careful planning. 😏
I didn't expect to make a long comment such as this (which I haven't done in several months). 🤯 You (and a few others who may read this comment) may say that this comment deserves its own post, but some might criticize this (and get flagged, !HOPEfully not). 🤯
