Oh boy.....Task is gonna think I'm complaining here  :) But here's my #feedback

OK, let me stress this before I dive into this....I love $LEO I haven't been more excited about a platform and project in years of being in crypto.  Heck, I was even part of the LEO team a few months ago and the only reason I had to step down, was an offline opportunity that presented itself.

So please know, absolutely **EVERY** single word of this post is made from a place in my heart that **genuinely** wants to see this project crush it! I basically hold 2 tokens....$HIVE and $LEO so this is it for me lol I have no plan B in crypto!

InLeo and more specifically Threads has had quite the history.  And according to a recent Tweet I saw from Khal, it's about to celebrate it's 5th anniversary.  While most #web3 platforms have fallen off the map, this thing continues to be here day in and day out.  There's a LOT to be excited about!

Here's the curse of being an online project...

If you 'stop doing new things' online, you can easily be forgotten because if you think you are fired up to produce amazing products, your competition is right behind you doing just a *little* bit more...So you have to keep 'doing things'.  The issue I think is that LEO needs to put the 'major thing' front and center and slow down on developing new features until the 'platform' is a rock solid offering. 

Again...This is all written out of love because I'm a decent holder of the $LEO token, so I have a vested interest in seeing this thing prosper.  But I do believe the team is so excited to 'try things', add new features and build things, they may have forgotten that what keeps people coming back is a platform that...**Works**.  All the time!

If things don't work, people will just stop coming back.  There's an old saying that you never get a second chance to make a first impression, this is true online.  Sure there are a few die hards that will stick around no matter what, but for the general user, if things don't work or get addressed, they leave.

And the Threads / InLEO platform has issues.  From loading, to not posting images, to being offline, it's been a constant problem for users since it got released. And yes, it's being worked on and yeah there isn't a multi-million dollar VC behind it, but having your main offering work all the time, should be an absolute priority on the top of everyone's mind.

Here is the next problem with a #web3 platform, is that it's attached to the hip with crypto.  So to get people using #web3 you need a sexy token.  And let's be honest, $HIVE isn't sexy.  People aren't beating down the hatch to build a following here because the overall crypto market ignores this blockchain. For reasons that could be an entire blog post in itself lol So the team is branching out and trying to integrate with MAYA, **which is a great idea**.  And I know it will be huge!!

Here's my '*but*'...

Crypto goes up and down all the time.  If we are going to base our experience around crypto, we need to not rely on the markets.  Which is kind of the direct angle jumping on board with MAYA is presenting.....Bigger market share, bigger potential investors, bigger price for $LEO

Again, this is a fantastic idea and I love it.  But my thought is that the the platform itself, doesn't need crypto to be in the green.  I'll use InLEO and Threads because of the experience I have and the community it's built...Not because of the price. But again, this is the double edged sword when it comes to a #web3 platform....You have to cater to both.  People want their 'free tokens'. And they want that token to have value!

Which puts LEO in a very unique space...

I just think the major thing needs to be the major thing.  Buy backs should come back with a bang as well, because that was such an amazing offering to the public...This is what will keep people here long term...The **EXPERIENCE** they have!

If people have an *incredible* experience, word of mouth starts spreading and you will see some new potential Lions flooding into the platform.  

Just a couple of thoughts from Jongo, make the experience remarkable and get the platform to work with zero issues and I truly believe, everything else will work itself out!  Combine that with the buy backs AND what's built now on MAYA....$LEO 's future is as bright as it comes!!!
