You hadn't the problem of running out of bandwidth because you have made your account and started blogging here a while ago, when Steem was not crowded let's say. You had enough time to build up some Steem Power and now you won't be facing the bandwidth problem, unless this place increases a lot the number of new active users. But people joining the platform now, these are having problems commenting and writing articles because they have really just a small bit of bandwidth.
And people abusing the platform spamming and drowning bandwidth form the honest content creators make this even worse. Just think about it, how would a minnow feel when he will post its article which gets really few to no upvotes as it is almost every minnow's post and when he tries to engage with people in comments or write another article, it runs out of bandwidth. It would be really discouraging IMHO.
Yeah that would suck, as each comment would take bandwidth and without commenting you can't grow your following through engagement. That would be super hard. I wish we started earlier but I am glad we didn't start any later, we made it in the first 500,000.
