I commented on this a little while ago on my blog. I don't think bandwidth limits are a bad thing, but I think the distribution could be fine tuned. Of course, it makes sense for those who own more to have less problems. That's cool. The biggest issue I have is some accounts have over 1 TB of bandwidth. Is it even possible to use that much bandwidth ever!?! So I feel like some of that bandwidth is wasted and could redistributed to minnows. I mean, I own ~$300 USD of SP and still run into bandwidth problems! I don't even post much. I mean $300 is a lot for a teenage college student. I feel like I should be able to do my 2 posts a day with no problem. I mean that's not a lot of content.
85.653 STEEM
(-70.548 STEEM)
You don't have 300 USD of SP, you delegated 70 SP to someone so of course you are running into bandwidth problems, if you hade those 70SP back you wouldn't have any problems! i stopped having bandwidth problem when i got to 50SP so it's not that much
Ah yes. I noticed that after I logged off and meant to update it. Either way, 50SP = ~$175 USD is still a lot for someone that hopes to use Steemit for a social media platform. And thanks for correcting me, @teutonium before I had the chance ;)
50SP are not that hard to make on steemit... i'm only 1 month old and i already have 120SP and next week i'll probably be close to 200SP.
They will change the bandwidth sooner or later, they should increase it slightly. You should scroll down and look at what targodan wrote, it's my exact feelings.
