Wow Dave! That's more than a little disheartening, isn't it?! It was hard enough to gain momentum when you and I started, but now, I can't imagine people sticking with it at all!
So, what's the answer?

Yes, I was stunned to see it. 3 comments per 3 days. Give me a break, this is now a dead (for new members) network. Of course we will all still speak our minds and comment here, but the days of thinking this will be something valuable is gone (in my eyes).
The answer is simple:
Take 10% to 20% of the RCs that have been given to the whales arbitrarily and dish them to the new accounts so they can "speak". So instead of thinking they can "lease" them out, why don't they realize this money grab is going to backfire.
There is nothing wrong with the mechanics of the RC system... That is a red herring. The real issue is they have given the fat cats at the top the power to make money at the expense of the little guys.
The only good thing I can take from this is that the people that will lose the most MONEY will be those same assholes. I am sorry for the good ones like Asher and FTG, but the rest of them in power deserve every drop in steem they get in the future!
And while I'm not a farm boy, this don't play well where I come from either! :P
I can always count on you to not only explain things to me, but to continually look out for the little guy, and I appreciate that so much Dave. It is a shame that this place could be so much better, and it could be done so easily, but I guess like real life, greed and power take over for many.
Yep, you don't have to be from the farm to know that something's rotten in the fields somewhere :)
Wow that is a wonderful compliment Lynn! Thank you :)
And I agree with you 100%... Maybe they get there one day and not through the path I would've taken, but you're right its a shame people took a little less to do a lot more!
And hahaha on the farm analogy, you would know Farm Girl In Mexico! I hope you and Brian are having some good days and don't let this negative stuff get to you. I think our friends will still stick around even if the price of steem suffers a bit til they figure it out ;) ... And tell Brian I said "hi".
Brian says "hi" back :)
We are having a lot of nice relaxing days; our new place has a big pool and patio so truthfully, we hardly leave home :) The negative stuff never gets to me here because truthfully, this is all not real life to me. It's important and I enjoy it, but I don't take the bs to heart! It's just not worth it.
