Overthinking isn't a bad thing (well not all the time, I could overthink about this comment and re-word it but I better just move on lol). I'm glad you made the post, lot of newcomers to Steem it feels, plus hard fork does have a different frequency of posting from people I have followed for a while to new people I follow, so this stuff will come up until it is either automatically done for us or they just take the option away from us. I think the programmers left it like this on purpose to just mess with people.
