So far so good. Things have improved. VM has been switched back to VP. The same amount of vote will cause more RC usage. Vote seller also need to take care of their breakdown of their partial vote ratio in order to preserve RC.
Meanwhile, resteem has become more efficient, or lose its purpose due to resteembots. Even resteem cost RC, follow cost RC. Best part is, create account become more expansive and delegation has been burnt off during account creation. I created two accounts yesterday and it costs me about 4SBD an account and it only came back 0.6steem worth of value for each account. So in a way, it should stop spam resteem, spam follow due to low RC.
Spam vote has been totally off the grid. Can't say this is good thing, but having removed spam vote meaning reward pool retention bigger, and real author and real voter will worth the real value. Sad to say that, small account lose their voice at all.
Overall, there's no good nor bad. Things had to changed, and we as a user will have to adapt, evolve, and be ready for the future. Take an old saying, the only constant that exist in the world is - change.

Well said! I agree that people need to adapt. Those who can’t handle change get left behind.
Thank you for such an amazing comment @davidke20
Im still wondering how HF20 will affect those who have not powered up and their SP is close to zero.
I've lost you here. Why would they lose their voice at all? Im very curious.

It's being adjusted. Even 0sp are allowed to make 3 comments in five days. Having said that, an account creation now will burn with Steem. I tried to create one a few days ago, it costs me 4SBD, after burn off it left 0.617steem in the account. Had the new user decided to withdraw, seriously he/she is not into the platform. Or power it up and make another upvote. In a way, it's good to prevent people from abusing delegations.
3 comments. Meaning that if they make a post, they had to literally rest 3 days before they reply a comment. If they do, they need to rest another 5 days to make another post. So, if this is not losing their voice, I don't know what is.

Big thx for this comment. Appreciate it.
One question @davidke20.
Does creating account burn STEEM? So far I knew that STEEM is being burned only once you choose to promote some post. But it seem that noone uses that feature.
Burning STEEM would shorten a supply on the market, which could help to maintain stable price.
Exactly. I created two accounts few days ago. The cost is about 4SBD. After burning it left with 0.6steem in the new account. So, in a way yes it become more expansive and of course more responsible for people who ask for an account.

Is creating free accounts also possible? Or is it possible to pay with anything but crypto?
Yes, can still create free account via the sign up facilities. Free is free because someone already paid for it(namely the witnesses) without our knowledge.
