We can have expectations as time and money investors, but this dos not mean steemit, inc. should follow this road. They can listen or not, act now or later or never, in the same way users can leave at anytime.
This being said, a promise is a promise...
Yeah, I mentioned this in a different comment too - but if they make promises to the public, that is different. I believe holding them to their word for anything they have publicly made promises to do, is a reasonable expectation. They are in a sense obligated to do that, in order to stay true to their word.
I 100% agree.
