I have my reservations about the way things played out, but I will doing the same thing you are. I have the bandwidth to support it, and double the opportunities for income is a good thing.
There's a definite feeling of cloak and dagger that I can't quite shake, though...Maybe it's my imagination, but something feels off about the suddenness of the announcement, the demeanor in the general chat, and the reaction on Steemit. My gut says something's up and I don't like it.
There is always an underlying reason for many things when it comes to a platform or business, to make sudden moves like that, so sure there is. it would be weird if there wasn't. But clarity of mind lights the way for a positive outlook to become visible.
But let's not jump to conclusions which i feel almost everyone does on pretty much any kind of subject.
And the truth is nobody knows. So putting energy in a hopeful scenario seems to me the way to go and the way i prefer. and its not about sticking your head in the sand ofcourse but i do always follow my instict and it tells me that for most this will be beneficial.
Thanks for sharing your perspective as well appreciate it :)
