@stellabelle that's my take on it also, getting new blood in steem/steemit with a good retention rate was and is the most important part of growth as is being user friendly. Most people don't understand crypto and telling them "you have to buy steem to do anything" isn't going to force them to buy steem, its going to force them to go elsewhere. This is what happens when you have people running things that are out of touch with the people. We see this all the time in politics. Think simplicity if you want to grow out to the masses. I say roll back to hf19 and re think (talk with the people in steem) how to go forward.

Exactly. Hardfork to remove the obvious psychopathic elements of RC and do extensive user testing before anything is rolled out. Don’t use your community to experiment on in this pathological method. It’s not the colossal fail aspect that is disturbing, it it the complete lack of care that I find so disturbing. Thinking of people as numbers in a cold Dystopian manner is what people will never be able to forget. What is next? This total lack of care about user experience is hard to swallow. Sadder still is how humans are being forced to adapt to such a pathological system and are now being reduced to feeling somehow grateful for being given more than 2 comments per day, as if they were in some kind of social purgatory. This is the fodder for a novel, an incredibly dark one that emerges from a mind that is clearly unstable or malignant.

I'm glad that Yours, memo*, and Matter exist, all of which use the BCH blockchain, and memo and Matter are ON the blockchain.
*(Yours is currently invite-only, and there are no invite links to share yet.)
There's also Weku, which is similar to steemit, but operates on different specs. And minds; though I'm not fond of it.
I spoke about the whale issue 10 months ago, and the general atmosphere seems to have only continued and gotten worse.
I'm glad there are attractive and usable alternatives in the marketplace of blockchain social networks.
I'm exercizing those options.
On the upside, if steemit content becomes editable, I might end up using steemit more.
Though... why wouldn't I just use Matter or Yours?
I can't figure out the steemit payment system, and I've gotten a good handle on being able to use BCH. Frankly, I'm not sure why I'd use Weku either -- I doubt I'd have much more luck "cashing out" than I have with steemit... but I'm giving it a whirl.
I made this into a post.
