"I rant, therefore I am."
- Dennis Miller -
Steemit giveth, and Steemit taketh away.
Why do I once more feel we're on the "taking away" end of things?
Ah, the Steemit grievances pile up...
First, it was the never-kept promise to allow us to edit articles after the payout period...
More recently, the stupid little boxes that clutter every external link...
Now, they're messing with our sliders.
Seriously? What's up with that?
Hulk MAD!

We used to have two separate rewards percentage sliders...
One slider governed rewards for comments. The other, rewards for posts.
And then there was one.
Now we have to adjust that slider pretty much every time we choose to reward a post or a comment...
"SERIOUSLY? Is this REALLY NECESSARY?"

I used to reward most comments with a small percentage vote, and would adjust my comment slider to greater value if the comment showed considerable thought and care.
I used to reward most worthy articles with a middling percentage vote, adjusting article my slider to greater value to reward truly outstanding work.
Now I must CONSTANTLY fiddle the @#$%! thing to deal with the moment by moment switching between comments and articles. AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!
Who makes these lame decisions?
Why do you have to make our lives more difficult? Who comes up with these ideas?
Bah, humbug.
Grumble, grumble, grumble...
Fellow Steemian, What do you think?
~FIN~
I can't believe they're at it again!

What really burns me is they are spending valuable time on this kind of twaddle instead of one of a million useful things that need to be done! Seriously who comes up with the idea of hey let's screw around with the slider today. Omg it really is so frustrating!

While your observation is excellent and true, I would prefer that they tinker with someone else's daily routine... :O

Even though I don't use Steemit very often, I find it somewhat baffling that "they" always seem to be talking about the big changes that are coming... and what we SEE are things like the link colors being a different color, the font being ever so slightly different and now the vote sliders (evidently-- I'm below that threshold) being one instead of two. Those are minor cosmetics, not "changes."
Bright Blessings!

Considering I still haven't reached the point where I can have a slider, and everything I vote gets 100% (XD) this doesn't affect me. I'm sorry Steemit is a butt though. I know a few folks powering down and leaving for a sleugh of concerns :/

I agree with you that they keep trying to change things. I also noticed that they moved the place where you choose 50/50 or hundred percent to the settings. I wonder why they did that. Sadly I don't think they listen to us. I would love to edit some old posts but I cannot. Thanks for bringing these points up to us I hope they get some good feedback. @creatr

You'd have to wonder if it's really the steemit code, or it's a product of some "silly" computer virus. I hope these details are solved for the benefit of all. Receive my affection friend @creatr

I'm somewhat lost myself why they would want to combine the two. I have my standard vote for comments and my standard vote for blogs. Outside of me having to adjust for my voting power and outstanding blogs/comments I don't need to fiddle much with it.
