Scammy did not keep my friends from earning $10 BTC @ $634 in November 2016, and I am sure not 'sad' about the earnings I received from them back then. 7 out 10 now have a Shift Card. (Though we are far from that here on this platform) I do know that it was effective marketing, far more than the promise these days of "Getting Paid to Post".
I am not negative about Steemit in the long-term. I hold much more on Poloniex now. I am even conflicted - Power Up, Power Down? I think for now - Power Down, because it is trade-able. Why Vest & Rest when there is no positive outcome to this next fork? I will make far less money 'lending it' to the governance of Steemit then I will trading it. It's like the question of should I just give an 11 month + loan to the IRS, only to get it back (UN-invested) for the sake of belief that the United States is "My Flag waving Country"? Nope!
Thank you for the positive comment on "Digger". (My Dog) I will still continue to post here on Steemit. I will wonder if "Whales" will get off their lazy bums and stop eating the "New Fish". IMHO
You should probably vote with your "Feet". If I read this article, in context Steemit is going to shoot it's active users in the foot. Never a goodthing for something so new on the internet.

True, if you get money all the scammy talks do not sound that bad anymore. However, you know that majority of people are not that open trying new things...
I am also thinking about powering down and having my Steem in a liquid form. My SP cannot influence anything, so I might rather go on and trade around it, so I could make some extra cash.
This fork might look really negative at the moment, but we will see. I also believe in Steemit future or I would not be here anymore. However, I see so many things to be improved, of which, marketing is the most important.
