{Now it's hard for me to give one concentric thought on the matter, so lemme split it into the reactions I had throughout the implementation to now.}
Day One
This is a clear cut case of a clear fuck up. I mean, how can you fuck up when you know everybody's accounts are at stake. Now I like to clear up one thing: I was technically taking a day-off. Awesome, but not awesome for those that have to deal with contests, wanted to post or even just interact with people in general. I mean, they said they tested this or not? In any case, it's implicit that if you implemented code, that you then checked it so minimal amount of errors to none will show up on the first DAY! But this, as aforementioned, wasn't a mere fuckup on a small scale - this hurt even raising and existing whales, the big accounts that probably be bruised and be able to limp along. No, everyone got screwed up by this.
Everyday since Day One until the "Continuity"
To call this as a fuckup was a mistake, no it was a bloodbath of complaints, memes, outlashes and hyperconservative posting. For the days Steemit had been effectively down, communities freaked out about the RC system and if they could manage on with the community. Not only that, but those that work as minimum wage (like the ones in Africa) had an embarrassing period of time where they couldn't do anything and not earn any extra income to stave off this website depression. I'm sorry not sorry, don't tell me this was a success.
"Continuity" Day
Finally, the HF20 system had been updated to overcome these issues and finally everybody can get back to their normal posting. But now we had the slow grind to get the gears back at it with the grinding and rotating to keep the Steemit machine going. And for this time when it got the recent update to now, every contest to the biggest whale had to do a self-reboot to just get back at the groove of posting. This day, regardless of one's perception of the matter, should be remembered and we should pose this bad memory every time they post about a new update that is to come. To ensure they won't forget to not fuckup.
Honestly my mood about HF20:
