@trumpman @drutter, people complain Steemit doesn’t communicate but when they do they get trolled, I do agree it shouldn’t have been pinned but in reality steemit.com is owned by Steemit Inc so they have a right to pin their own communication. Look at least they are trying, I appreciated the sentiment, most companies that care wish their customers a happy holidays.

Do you see any meaningful communication? All I see is blah blah blah with no action while they continue dumping their stake. To any logical person, this " communication" looks as a last ditch effort to not cause panic as they exit with the maximal possible profits. Meanwhile Ned has dissappeared after breaking his scheduled appearance TWICE. Trolling is the least their "communication" deserves.

right on @thecryptodrive ,i think they should pin as long as its not "daily" updates. I see a lot of complaining but i don't see a lot of onboarding major accounts by people who claim to have the marketing skills.
But well, people complain on a downvote on stackoverflow and spend 30 minutes explaining how to pose a question instead of using their supergeekbrain to answer it in 5 seconds.
As do the utopian "rules" on how-to-tutorial
humans ...
they can't be helped
steemit could have very well thrown in the towel by now, scrapped the money and left everyone to dry, filed for bankrupcy and get zero liability on anything.
But they don't , so i do agree, doubleplus points for not caving in and swimming upstream in the middle of a shitstorm on planet Crypton.
I betcha fiver if the price were to rise to $10 again people would still find something to complain about.
i'd say just keep going and whoever doesn't like it : there's always fakebook, you get an unlimited number of likes per day so people just post to watch their own feeds mostly imo.
And more : other than steem, flixxo and (if they come through) BAT there's none where you can step-in for free. I don't know of any fora like this running off of eos or tron or vitalsky-coin , ... maybe they exist but i'm sure the ETH won't come for free daily like it does here.
but it doesnt ??!?
orley so what do you call 10 100% votes a day ? those are vests in steem you give away and get for free, dearies.
I'm in to the very end but i hope this is just a bump and the phoenix rises stronger.
... i usually don't even react to all that crud because i dont know what people who are ranting actually accomplish for the chain themselves but in this case
well i didnt either, i just wanted to say i still believe and i agree with what you say here.

Steem is a decentralized blockchain and no one should have the authority to pin posts and have any kind of advantage.
steemit.com however is a centralized interface, and they can do whatever suite them, and i for one kinda neutral about this, i don't like it neither dislike it, but if you don't like it, you can use another interface.

its their company ... steemit is not the blockchain , you are posting and reading on the application maintained by steemit.inc , they have every right in the world to pin whatever they like on top or bottom . If i were to complain about anything its why they're not lobbying for ad-money but i can think of a reason b/c i have the same problem : independence, they dont wanna leash themselves to having to explain yearly to the board.
No one's stopping anyone from writing their own program to run off of steemchain. #Busy did it , #musing did it , #steemstem did it ... anyone who wants can write their own pin-free application but as the americans say

He (and all of us) are buying 100% of what they're offering for sale.
Claiming we don't have the right to complain is indefensible. The site is profiting off us, the content-creators. If we aren't happy, we'll take our investment (and content) elsewhere. The site should care if/when the content-creators aren't happy. Please stop trying to silence people's opinions just because you disagree.

Yes he has no stake in Steemit, none of us do.
Please elaborate.
How? There are no ads, no revenue being created off of the users using Steemit.com daily. Not only do you (and most of us) get the account created for free, you're also surfing the blockchain and hosting images for free. They aren't packaging your activity and selling it to the highest bidders like most other social media platforms do, cause it's there for free to grab on the blockchain.
Sure you can say "their stake would not be worth as much if the users weren't here" but that brings in a lot of other factors.
Again, I'm not one to try and silence when users of a site want to complain about things, but his tone sounded a lot more like an idiot acting out on being mad cause things weren't delivered in time and it may have effected the value of his investment.
Please stop trying to silence people's opinion of other people's "opinions" because you disagree with me disagreeing with theirs.
Using words such as "silencing" and "censorship" on a blockchain is equally as dumb.

Nobody claimed the users of Steemit are OWNERS of Steemit, with stake in the company. Silly strawman.
You're trying to discredit someone's opinion because you disagree with it. His opinion is valid, as are all user complaints here. If the site wants to know how to provide best for its users, it will listen to complaints. People aren't complaining because they hate the site and want to destroy it. They're complaining because they love the site, see its potential, and want things to improve.
You coming along trying to claim people have no right to complain about Steemit's problems is nasty. They have every right, and Steemit's ownership would be wise to ignore you, and hear the complaints.

@acidyo and @inertia It was me that first brought this all to light and I am not spreading fake news, i'm trying to be proactive and have action taken by raising it as a red flag before it does become a problem.
Since the lay offs the accounts created by steemit inc has dropped considerably. Its not that long ago so before it becomes as problem, don't you think we should try and address it? From the post I did on it the other day, which is not fake news as I pulled the data myself, the comments suggest this is a serious problem and people are waiting too long and losing interest.
With the drop in crypto prices, im sure there has been a drop in demand, however looking at the % accounts created by steemit inc, it was over 80% in Oct and Nov. its no where near that now. working back from these figure I would guesstimate a backlog of about 1100 accounts.
This has been noticed very fast, and we have an opportunity to make sure it does not become a problem. I think removing the sign up for free is not a bad idea. Lets not give potential new users or investors the wrong impression and leave them wondering why they haven't got their accounts, lets be proactive, and hopefully we can also help reduce the pressure from steemit inc so they can focus on what they need to do.
I would love to see other dapps take charge on setting up free accounts, but we would need steem.com to link to these and its a big undertaking too for the apps.
@fitinfun that was a great reply :-)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I don't really care. You sign up for a free account, you get what you pay for. Dapps are taking charge, they just aren't doing it for free. Apparently doing so is unsustainable and problematic.
I will not get worked up over free account creation. There's a lot of talk in the dapps community over the idea of creating free off-chain accounts and only putting them on-chain once they prove their worth. I like that idea much more.
As for the button, yeah, it'd be nice if it was removed or was changed to "Free, with Unspecified Delay." But why now? Because of missing spikes on some report? We don't even know what those spikes really were.

As if half of the world would be waiting to join Steem(it). Most of the potential new users must be convinced first to join. Often I say: "Why not just try it out as it is for free anyway?" Most of the users I brought to Steem(it) wouldn't have joined if the first thing they had to do is to pay for an account.

I agree with you, I have a difficult time getting friends to try Steemit. I have one friend that is a very active poster on Facebook, I have tried several times to just get Her to give Steemit a try. She would add so much with her posting! Put a cost on accounts and limit her ability to interact with limited RC she would just laugh at Steemit. We need to give the people what they want, a social platform that welcomes people not a good old boys club that closes the door to new people!

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I have to admit, I agree with this.
However, personally, I do care. I feel that some of these paid account creation options only allow cryptocurrency as payment. For many, the STEEM is a gateway for those that don't know anything about cryptocurrency to eventually becoming a cryptocurrency user. Without the free account option, we shut down this gateway for people to learn or even people that only want to uses STEEM purely for the social media aspect.
The off-chain account creation concept may very well be a good alternative solution.

I guess @socky's point is steemit has never newly approved since a month ago, which is quite unusual (maybe for the first time this year? not sure though). Anyway, it's not like steemit approves everyday, they only approve every 2-3 weeks, which is clearly shown as big spikes. That's why some people got their account within a day if they're lucky to apply near the next approval day. I guess currently steemit doesn't wanna (or cannot) spend money for verification temporarily.
Hope steemit can get back to normal soon. Happy Holidays!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

It was explained to me once that the reason why they don't just allow all the accounts is because the Steem developers and witnesses are afraid of "Sybil Attacks", which is basically when someone gets a bunch of different accounts to abuse (they pretend like they're a bunch of different people to be more influential, or to be able to vote more for themselves).
But honestly, I think they should be more afraid of the paid-vote bots. The paid voting system makes it nearly impossible for new users to grow. IMHO the Steem devs and witnesses should seriously re-examine their priorities.
When I told them that, they basically said they didn't care about my concerns because other people had invested more into Steem than I did, and those people's opinions were more valuable to the SteemIt leadership than mine were.
It's like they don't care if Steem goes down in flames as long as they get their short-term kickbacks.

I believe Steemit Inc provides notifications that accounts have been approved/verified by email or text. It seems like they should send out a message to those in the queue that they have stopped creating accounts and provide a list of other account creation options. The free account option on the website should be taken down.

thanks, I think it is good and bad at the same time. On one hand, this drives others to create accounts which improves decentralization. On the other hand, people who don't know better are left waiting for an unknown amount of time which doesn't provide a good experience. I think the website should at least reflect that free accounts are no longer available or on some sort of moratorium.

"I think the website should at least reflect that free accounts are no longer available or on some sort of moratorium."
Yes, I agree. And while we're at it, the entire FAQ (and the rest of the site) is about 2 years out-of-date. None of the info given to new users is current or correct.

Good point. I've had issues with their FAQ page long ago about being out of date and inaccurate.

Hello @socky and the other steemians. I have seen these articles late, but I think that my analysis recently could be a good reference for this issue.
STEEM status and some doubt based on account creation statistics
The percentage of strange accounts that have been created since June this year, but have no signs of use at all, increased sharply. Maybe this fact is partly related to the issues you raised.
Enjoy Christmas and New Year.

Why do you have such thin skin, @reseller?
Yes, your self-voted comment appeared sycophantic and it received multiple flags from multiple users. Not sure exactly what you were going for. Your use of the mute button tells me you are not one that likes to be critiqued. Noted.
Even so, I made an attempt to reach out to you in a civil way prior to coming across your comment to discuss a matter that is important to the chain.
But, it seemed more useful to ignore that and respond to the meme that didn't paint you in the most pleasant light. That's unfortunate.

Yes! It's indeed a peaceful holiday. But that quickly reminds me as I remember that this is the month where people spend cash alot and because they visit their family and their relatives they need to spend.
My question is to us steemians.
What will be the fate of steem this month because sure everyone will sell than buy.
Though for good investors and good experienced users. This is the time to buy.
