That experience that you mentioned is exactly what I would do, If I was a new user and found DLive why the hell would I create a Steemit account... :D (especially if you have to pay or wait so long)
Two big steps forward in the development of the STEEM blockchain only making us more and more bullish for the future.
Btw, I don't think it was a FOMO move, it was your inside trader telling you buy the bottom and you will make lots of money.
