Welcome back! And why things are not going well here!

Steem has changed! A LOT! Ned has decided to put ads on YOUR (and MY) posts! This means even months/years after you stop earning HE still gets to earn from OUR content! Does this seem fair? NO! Ned is proving how centralized and shitty steem is becoming!

I do not trust Ned's path forward! I really feel steem is dieing and do not see the reason to put effort into creating a lot of new posts anymore! Instead of focusing on the signup delay issues he has decided to steal more and more of OUR revenue for himself using ads that are annoying!

Notice the new top bar? Notice how he can't get even ONE business/person to pay for it! That is PROOF that he is just desperate to extract as much money from this platform as possible and NOT share it with the authors who produce the content HE is monetizing! THAT is THEFT! He is not being fair and the platform keeps getting worse and worse! Every update made makes things completely changed with no input from anyone but 5 people he controls!

Steemit is a fraud! Ned moved most of his funds off the platform into bittrex and other exchanges so he can hike the price up soon and cash out and move on just like Dan did! They are pump and dump schemers it seems and this platform will need some REAL leadership to fork off and survive.. Anyone who has the ability and desire to could! But I for one am looking at cashing out the bulk of what I have for a HUGE loss and just focusing on the future!

We got scammed by ned and dan.. I accept that now and look toward the future! I HOPE I am wrong and ned backtracks and removes these annoying ads which slow down the blogs and annoy people and earn HIM money not US the authors.. I hope he focuses more on signup time to be under 5 minutes NOT focus on how to steal our talent and work to profit for himself.. But over the last year that does not seem to be the path he is focused on...
