Was a little over 80% reduction of posts from users on my blacklist weeks after HF20.

yep, that is what I thought and, those "nice post" comments are few and far between since.

Well that isn't strange I remember I couldn't post either so it wasn't really the hard fork running away spammers it was a badly implemented concept that stopped a lot of people from posting, of course this included spammers.

ok... yet you are still here. Spammers?

Of course I am an actual user and I still use Steemit, but a lot of users left after that hard fork and that is one reason for less spam, because obviously there are less people to spam. If user numbers grow spammers will be back, it just comes with the territory you can't fix that. It is like bid bots, as long as big accounts delegate to them they are here to stay.

These people are in a cult man, somehow making it impossible for new people to get started here without paying is good, because it cut back on "hello friend" spam, thats just crazy. Two whales are spamming the shit out the place and no one can do anything but we cut off some guy from India fom making 10 cents.
What is the hardfork going to do to stop @animalcontrol from spamming the blockchain with impunity? The idea 50/50 or SMT's are going to save this place while the whole system is broken is laughable. I will not invest one penny because I would be buying steem from a spammer, or Ned or some other premine asshole. No one is dealing with the real issues of steem because all the witnesses are profitting from the current set up.
