Hi Phil,
Cheers for the link - I missed your post somehow.
Yes I’ve been seeing various posts and reading about the effects of the hard fork. I am in agreement and have always considered the change to 50/50 would be a highly damaging, and irreparable move.
I’m not technical and just about understand very basics of STEEM; so I’ve been complacent in talking about this issue.
I don’t really know what’s actually best for the network and the reasons why some would vote this 50/50 setup 1 but even I can see that it would be damaging.
I just assume this isn’t anything I can change.. I guess this is all the hands of witnesses?

Hey. Thanks. I’m sorry for blasting you with my article. I feel bad about it, but I felt I couldn’t take this lying down. You create fun content on here about your filmmaking and I think you deserve the bulk of rewards for your work.
Three of the top 20 witnesses responded to my article. One with what seems like a sarcastic remark and the other with a question that insinuates that someone who invests money is worth more than the creators who make the network worth visiting. The other - Tim - just reiterated what he stated before, again without evidence.
These attitudes are mind blowing to me. They reek of arrogance.
Sooooooo angry.
Thanks again for your ear.
Don’t worry man, I always like hearing from you and you have valid points.
I agree with you and I feel frustrated that it might potentially cause an exodus from the platform.. the opposite of what a lot of peoples efforts have been, with on-boarding etc.
There’s a big shift happening and I’m not sure there’s much we can do except wait and see.
If 50/50 happens then it will be disappointing but perhaps something can rise from it?
It’s feels like Brexit happening over here. Like watching a car crash in super-slow-motion. No matter which way you voted, no one gets what they want - and ultimately only time will tell
If it will have a positive impact.
What would you do if 50/50 happened?
Would you stop posting? Leave STEEM? Carry on and make the best of it?

I don't know! I think I might bail. This whole thing makes me sick. I think that these top witnesses need to be voted out of their position in favor of ones that will protect creators and operate with far more transparency. I've only chosen 3 witnesses because I like to take a moment to see how they behave. I'm glad I've never chosen any of the current top witnesses. They always had too much power for my taste.
There are other services like LBRY, HyperSpace and Creative Chain that I think are worth exploring. Flixxo is total garbage. So if I bail, it'll be to one of those platforms, but I don't want to have to do that! I love Steem and I love the fact that this place was made for creators, not stakeholders. Not to make whales even bigger.
I don’t want you to migrate either - but if this place doesn’t support creators and authors then perhaps it’s the best option. Perhaps keep the STEEM and run a curation bot or something then post content elsewhere.
When does the new hard fork come in to effect - any idea?
