Well. I note that Grammar Nazi didn't take a long holiday vacation. As spam goes I'd give it a C- or there about.
One thing I'd like to see is current voting for the witnesses. If you haven't logged in for 3 months your vote no longer is usable. That would at least give the (smallish) community left a chance to have a clear say at something.
Other than that I agree with your assessment pretty completely. Maybe a bit of a sympathy vote for SteemitInc but hey. If it weren't for sympathy sex I'd have missed out on a lot of good times.
Thanks Arrroed, for taking a lead on this in the community. We need you man!
