I was an active community member at CH for a long time, over a year. The problem that I could surmise from their actions and meetings they posted was that they knew what they needed to do but were reluctant to do it.<p>They refused to work within the tech community and just tried to attract anyone who had an idea. Instead of going for the people who could execute and have ideas anyway and promoting the "contracting + equity" aspect of the ventures, they wanted to have a hand in every project.<p>Also, they seemed to have a clear strategy, but just not follow it. They were always hiring, when it probably would have been more prudent to contract out and actually<p>building the site that was supposed to make them special.<p>They were always hiring, but no one could figure out why they weren't improving the site like the community wanted. No one could figure out why they looked so busy on the videos, but nothing was ever completed.
