Developers... what the fork have you done??

Myabe my first post on this account shouldn't be so bitter... but honestly, can't think of good things to say. This account was created thanks to @steemmonsters, and I was actually curious to see how was the experience of joining steemit as a complete newcomer after HF20.


And... it's just insane. Not because we start with 0 SP, or the low RC, since I haven't tried to post or comment yet so I can't say how quickly it goes down. But, starting with 0% VP? Not being able to do a single upvote? (Yes, I know being with 0 SP the upvote would be useless... but still!).


Either I'm missing something, and completely making a fool of myself... or the HF completely screwed the experience for a newcomer! Bear with me for few seconds: someone that never tried steemit before, opens an account, realises he/she can't do a single upvote, has very limited possibility of interaction with other users... would you see this person staying for long? I don't.


Something needs to be done. And after trying a completely new account, this seems completely clear to me now. Wishing brighter days ahead for newcomers and tiny fishes here!

What happened When you entered FB ? Learning is earning nothing is a Free ride this I think is the wrong attitude dude .... and go blog first and than have big mouth

and go blog first and than have big mouth

I did... I didn't explained myself well, but been active in steemit for a few months already. When I entered fb, as well when I joined steemit, I could do something a new steemian can't do now: interact freely. And looking back when I entered and comparing it to now, it's a whole new experience... and a rather frustating one. it's not a question of atitude, it's facts. In practical terms, writing this post took almost half my RC, and each steemmonsters battle takes around 6%. Now, Imagine you had spent real life cash to play a game, joined steemit, and realise you could only play 15-20 minutes a day, and that's suposing you don't do anything else on the platform. Sounds fair?I would feel scammed if I was completely new :) I could go on, but you get the point. And I know you do worry about the little fishes, because like you I also support the @pifc and try to help the community to grow; it's hard for the newcomers with the 15 SP delegation, now imagine the ones with 0. Just my two cents here :) Peace

I did maybe talk to soon than if you did, but I just hate negativity. You have to explaine yourself well, if you have been active in steemit for a few months tell people not everyone scrolls down more than two blogs at the time.
I joined steemit in a better time too I could do something a new steemian can't do anymore because of the changes. But here you can interact freely. And if you say:
And looking back when I entered and comparing it to now, it's a whole new experience...
you are so right but it is what it is.
Try to be positive and try to earn a delegation or invest.
I know Thats its a rather frustating period. it is also a bit of an atitude that is nesseccary these days.

You say: In practical terms, writing this post took almost half my RC, and each steemmonsters battle takes around 6%. Now, Imagine you had spent real life cash to play a game, joined steemit, and realise you could only play 15-20 minutes a day, and that's suposing you don't do anything else on the platform. Sounds fair?

Not fair but really reality!!
I didnt make the changes and maybe after Reading All these comments in RC things will Change untill than I would advice completely with a new attitude. I could convince but I know you do also look after the red fishes, but Being a red one as yourself Thats maybe to soon to do. I also support the @pifc and try to help the newbies but I am here longer so its easier.
I now its super hard for the newcomers with now sp, But leaving for me is No option its No Free ride. Sorry if I offended you Thats not My intention so hope to See you soon here with a New blog.
