Dlive is leaving Steem, moving to Lino Blockchain. How do you feel about it?

It makes me question the legitimacy of the delegation. 2 million in delegation is quite substantial, for Steem Inc to have no idea that this was the plan, and no systems of checks and balances to protect the Steem economy from such a move, I can't help but to ask why? I think Steem Inc should create a TOS for such delegations as a protection, and better communication with the community. We all have a stake, so our voices matter. It would be nice to see something change in this respect.
As far as how I feel about them leaving? Good riddance, I don't want to be in the midst of a shady profiteering group of entrepreneurs. What they did was clever, and horribly immoral in the eye's of most of the serious Steemit users.
If there aren't any hidden layers to this exit plan, I can't see how they will succeed in the future. Their credibility is no longer conducive for gaining the trust of their user base IMO. Earlier today I noticed @fulltimegeek made a post on how to remove dlive from your authorized apps. https://steemit.com/dlive/@fulltimegeek/how-to-remove-dlive-from-your-authorized-apps . I already knew how to do this, but it hadn't struck me that I should remove the authorization. Of course, I removed it right away. (Thank you @fulltimegeek )
I don't think this will adversely affect Steem in the long run. We have, entirely way too much going on, and the support is unprecedented. If anything, we should utilize what we learned from this experience. I had a strange intuition about dlive, and I can think of a person or two that I voiced these concerns to a while back, but even still, as a whole, we ignored what now seems to be obvious questionable signs of something shady in the works. Now if we learned anything, we will be better equipped for this in the future.
Apparently no one feels anything about it. (No comments here, just 100 votes after 11 hours later)
Very strange.
I learned about this event from your post.. Thanks for the info.
Personally I never used dlive, and only have a short experience with dtube.
Video streaming is still in its alpha stage right now. No one has done it well except for Youtube so far (and even that could be considered questionable).
You do ask a good question:
If it's an oversight, they should just be upfront about it.
At the minimum, it doesn't matter. I think they have no choice but to learn something here.... Anyone could make a mistake like that... the important part... is to avoid repeating it again. :)
Well, most of the votes on the post are autovotes, it's likely that probably not more than 10 of those voters even saw the post, but I really did expect to get some feedback on this, I'm pretty shocked myself!
Exactly! This is what piqued my suspicion.
Hopefully we'll learn from it, and I really hate to have a fatalistic attitude, but I am not sure this was devastating enough for everyone to be "on guard", I think it's a general attitude around here that there are overseers just "watching everyone's back", and IMO, that's a laxidasical attitude to have.
Life goes on anyways..
I really appreciate your input. Thank you for stopping by.
