Yes I can understand people being upset, as they had made their calculations on those votes, but the way I see it, if you were voting and replying like @tuck-fheman then your rewards won't be affected that much and might even go up.
The bots of course, will lose out and not much can be done about that, I guess. But like you say, it is about July 5th and onwards, being here early will give all of us an initial advantage over the influx of people, we hope to see.
I'm in this for the long-haul and I think a lot of the people who are upset are thinking long-term as well, they've just lost sight of that for a moment, but I have faith in my fellow Steemites!

Yes, unknowingly I covered all bases. ;)
That's the beauty, you were just treating it like it should be treated. I did at first, but then lost my way a bit and started trying to think tactically; not that it worked... anyway, I'm back now and even if the changes aren't accepted, which I really, really, hope they are, I'll still treat Steem writers with the respect they deserve.

I guess it's a benefit of being "chatty" or as my friends call it ... "STFU!". ;)
