Yet another example of Steemit.com scraping cream off the top for themselves and the whales.
So the content providers, with whom the platform would have died at the outset, have to give up even more of our rewards, again, because those at the top have zero imagination regarding how to actually craft a realistic win/win/win scenario.
Decentralized my ass. Pathetic. Still.
I'm still committed here long term, but it's in spite of the udiocy and greed at the top, not because if it. I have faith in the people who use the platform. I have zero faith in those who control and abuse it.
And we've yet to see whether they break the flipping platform, like they did last time. Bunch of useless dweebs.

well - discord still allows me to interact with all my steemit family - for free!! hehehe and i will STILL be going to the meetup! ohhhhh yes i will. I won't be able to upvote - but I'll be able to comment !
just to be clear @crescendoofpeace this HF is not being driven by steemit.com ... or steemit inc.. it is the witnesses who vote on it and steemit inc who codes it when they decide.
Thanks for the clarification.
It still takes away rewards from creators, giving them to those who have not created, so I'mstill not in favor of that change.
If they rely want to help creators and the platform, they should go back to 30-day payouts, as it was in the beginning.
That would help creators and curators, without taking rewards from anyone, and would help the whole platform.
that 30 day payout was not all that it was cracked up to be. The reality was if you didn't get upvoted well in the first 24 hour window, you would be lucky to see even a few cents in the next 29 days. Then, like now, content was buried pretty quickly.
No doubt.
But by taking rewards from content creators, and awarding them to curators, they are in effect directly awarding them to abusive whales, since we already know they will be the first to game the system.
Not exactly upholding the promise of holding abusive whales in check, is it?
