sir smithlabs! I have been doing the same thing, I am helping quite a few newbies and have delegated sp to them so they can keep going but some have dropped off so that's why my numbers are way down too.
As far as the whales, you can't get in contact with them, almost none of them post anything.
But yes it looks like the growth here has been severely slowed for new account holders.
I have lost 2/3 rds of my normal communications. This includes all contacts below 43!
This change, now listed as stable; has devastated all the newbies! I seriously am worried about the long term prospects of this platform. A lot of my losses are foreign, where they have no chance of purchasing SBD, as a lot have little money. Some of their posts were exceptional, especially on the photography!
I am still trying to find them...hope they are just in RC Jail, and not gone entirely!
I Think they are done; once they claimed success, and pronounced it stable. I have not heard a peep from them since that happened, about any changes. SURE HOPE I am wrong!

sir smithlabs I know, it's not right but I think they'll eventually put in a fix but by then most of the new accounts will be gone. I agree though, it they want steemit to grow they need to fix this situation.

They are destroying the single most important resource that Steemit has. Very bad planning, I would like to see what they plan to do to fix this. I would be willing to review and comment on their planning.
Might be able to plug some holes...
You have helped some, good Job; and I wish I could! Most of my steem power is delegated by nice people to keep me alive!

sir smithlabs! well sir, I think we'll know in a few weeks if anything is going to be done to fix this, it may not be, I'm not sure but we'll see. I hope they still want to grow steemit but they might have other plans.

I think they are bad planners, not evil people. They want steemit to grow, or they loose a lot of money. I think they have been trying to fix this, but just bumbling instead. They need to talk to those who use the platform, to find out what the actual problems are, before they try to patch them!
A little thinking , and collection of problems, wouldn't be a bad idea; before actually writing software!
