Hard Fork 20 is the purge of steemit! Users with little stake have nothing to lose and the price has been flat for ages so they'll be leaving in their droves. HF20 was essentially a witch hunt that was meant to curb abuse and reduce botting and we will see if it does but its significantly hamstring all users and makes it counter-intuitive to be an active steemian
In my eyes this fork just prevents quicker redistribution of resources and prolongs the whale club circle jerk that it is. While the HF may help grow new sign ups going forward I don't think it will help retention and ghost and dead accounts will continue to plague the platform
