— SteemCN

Agreed! I was remarking on another post how Steemit did not make any of us "employees" and nowhere were we promised "a paycheck." This is just an opportunity, which may or may not give something... there were no promises here.

There is a slight problem there, many people have been recruited on the assumption that they will be paid for their work, so many people can rightfully say they were lied to, because at the moment they are getting no money for their efforts. Now I do hope things will get back to normal soon and payouts will return to the levels they were at before the hard fork, I personally have never had that many upvotes or upvoted by a whale so my posts hardly ever make a dollar so this doesn't really hurt me, getting 0 cents for a post has not been uncommon, I am mostly here because I usually comment on posts and become involved in some lively discussions, so I like Steemit for that not for the money, I've been here since August and I don't even have 500 SP and I've never powered down. But you are wrong saying there were no promises, by saying something like - now you can actually make money on a social media unlike Reddit were you post and get nothing, you are actually telling people they will get paid, and these kind of tweets, social media posts etc have been made, this is from the whitepaper:
"Steem is a blockchain database that supports community building and social interaction with cryptocurrency rewards".
"There are some key principles that have been used to guide the design of Steem. Themost important principle is that everyone who contributes to a venture should receive pro-rata ownership, payment or debt from the venture."

I would like to know if there wasn't a way to avoid this? Unfortunately I don't know enough about it, but it would seem that it would be worth trying to it now instead of waiting for it to sort itself out later. I'm not thinking of myself as much as the brand new accounts. How long are they going to wait?

Well we are out of the loop so we don't know what will happen, so we just have to stick it out and see what the result is, and since no one is making any money many of the new guys will just leave, so we might lose some talent before they even started which is sad.

I agree in part with you, I have also been critical of steemit, and I recognize that one of their major problems is the lack of communication, but at the same time, I think that this type of situations you can learn much, thank you for giving your opinion.

Exactly, it is necessary to understand that.

I understand that and agree, yet for the betterment of Steemit, isn't there some way to fix this instead of just sitting back. How many brand new accounts will be opened and the people get a bad impression and abandon it? I have gotten 2 people sign up in the last 2 days and am trying to pre-warn them about the current situation.
