Looks like a total clusterfuck with zero data on what happened and therefore no way to measure success. Most of the comments are negative and it looks like several people left the platform over it.

However I did not ask what other people thought of it, I asked why you thought it was a success. Care to answer that question or not?

If you think the price of STEEM had anything to do with this then you clearly don't understand how the crypto markets work.

I'm not biased for or against the so-called experiment. You asked me to search for it and the first thing that popped up on Steem results was chaos and people quitting over it. That is why I asked for your opinion in the first place, because you claimed it was a success, and I wondered why. Clearly your claims that everyone approved of it were demonstrably false, and I still haven't seen anything in the way of data on how or why it was a success, only that a certain subset of people approved of and are cheerleaders for it. Expecting large accounts to act in concert for the good of the community rather than self interest is naive in my opinion, and I don't think anyone is prepared for the chaos that will be unleashed with free downvotes, but I hope that I'm wrong and you are right.

If it was such a success, why do you think the "experiment" was discontinued?
The STEEM blockchain is for all intents and purposes controlled by Steemit Inc. They implement whatever changes they want, moderate/censor their front-end, and control almost all the coding that is merged. Only in the last month did they start merging community code requests, but really nobody knows how many of the anonymous developer, marketing, and witness accounts they actually control on here.
