Hive's current user base is not large enough to expect traditional content creators to adhere to the hate of large stakeholders, this behavior is preventing the adoption of Hive.
If you were a new user, with a follower base on other platforms - and a top ranking user with heavy weight over the site started insulting you - would you want to advocate for Hive?
I believe that the reason many people are fearful of standing out against this type of behavior towards your new users has to do with stake weighted voting, 1) they fear being downvoted by this stakeholder and losing their revenue, 2) with the consensus mechanism Bernie holds significant weight over who becomes a top 20 witness - what does this mean when the person who treats your new users this way also has significant control over the consensus mechanism? Is this truly what decentralization looks like?
