Even if delays such as that of your friend are normal, it took me almost a week, they should not be. Maybe the dev team is busy doing a multitude of tasks. Looks like the signup system in its current form is not scaling or coping properly with demand.
I am happy to hear a critical voice here. I’ve noticed that the platform has become a bit too much like a religion for many. I also noticed that posts oozing with praise and platitudes tend to get high pay.

I'm done being mister nice guy, because having a bunch of whales with all the things to say, and minnows sucking their dicks everyday is not going to do shit for this platform on the long-run, and the developers need to wake the fuck up!
I love it.
The killer dolphin (Tolkatores Occisorum), a new species, hungry for whale meet.
Ha! Now that's funny, but let's face it, where is Steemit going to go if its just filled with a bunch of whales circle-jerking each other with up-votes all day?
There is a lot of work to be done for the platform to improve. I don’t know all the intricacies of the system, but it’s not too hard to see that there are real issues. As in life, money incentives tend to lead to unintended consequences. Mixing SOCIAL responses (example: I enjoy writing about x) with MARKET responses (example: I could make more if I suck a whale…) leads to distortions and eventually one of the two is corrupted.
Pay to win systems are certainly a tough cookie, and getting both sides of anything when most are incentivized to be neutral or positive is even trickier.
Yeah. The publicity of steemit is growing by the day.
A lot of people are involved in the utopian task where they carry the task of promoting the platform coupled with steem meet up in various parts of the world.
I'm sure tonnes and tonnes of people are turning up by the day. So delay is expected but they should sit up and fix it
Exactly, instead they are off worrying about smart media tokens, when they should in fact be fixing the very platform that got everything going.
Yeah. I even heard they have special invite link or addresses given out by whales for registration and instant confirmation..
Honestly its frustrating, preaching to people about steemit and repreaching to them about the delays in confirmation
The rich helping the rich... nothing new there.
Yeah. Its no longer a "social" community again. Its now a "cliq" community. Everybody having there own clique... Doesn't make sense. The socializing part has been defeated
The grouping mentality on Steemit is dangerous for the longevity of the platform, but we'll see how long it lasts.
It seems that tribal instincts are deeply embedded in human psyche. We all tend to be drawn into groups, at an instinctual level. Steemit merely reflects what happens in real life.
Monetary incentives and opportunities are not evenly distributed in the real world, nor are they in Steemit.
If Steemit develops along the lines of the outside world, we will see an original anarchical and somewhat equalitarian idea turn into an ecosystem with spheres of influence resembling tribes and hordes.
It is actually a very interesting social experiment, and keeping a certain detachment while observing its evolution makes it fun.
