I can't even power up with FULL RC! In essence Steem is DEAD! Who the fuck thinks a social platform is going to succeed when you can't post comment or reply? I make 100s of comments a week! Now they dropped me to 0 on some accounts! It used to be free to make posts and comments, now it costs you RC which is your voting power, and if you have a tiny bit you have no incentive to even engage!
The new way is, just make a post, self up vote and leave! They destroyed the platform!
FUCK YOU @ned you DESTROYED the very reason we are on here! Having a platform that charges a tax to do something that doesn't make you money just encourages people to self up vote MORE and create rings that do not make engaging comments and replies (since they cost RC now) and instead just circle jerk their group! IE make a post, and have everyone and themselves up vote it every day and never make a single comment or reply to another person. This platform is now DEAD! Unless you have a HUGE amount of Steem Power you are choosing between voting and simple things like following someone and replying to them... HOW is this good @ned? No wonder the team fell apart and @dan left! He saw this coming and you all hid it very well! You knew this was your goal and instead of making it public you buried it!
STEEM IS DIEING! We are forking! If you run a Witness please get in contact with me! We are going to roll back the RC plugin update and reinstate the old VP/Bandwidth system which encouraged engagement by all Steemians! PLEASE join us as this update not only fucked us but fucked most of you as well I am sure! Lets show them just how serious we are at having the rules we AGREED to changed overnight!
3 months to power down but they can change the rules overnight! FUCK THAT! Join us!
Rant over!
