RE: Did We Learn Any Lessons From HF20?
Basically, this week, Steemit has become a place where I will say precisely exactly any thing I wish to say on any topic.
I always encourage people to speak their mind...to not sugar-coat things. I'm glad that you have made this decision. I've been doing it for over two years, and while it doesn't exactly work in my favor with this specific culture, nobody can say that I don't speak my mind, that I'm not passionate when I do speak, and that I don't offer constructive criticism/solutions.
You were way easy on Ned.
Trust me when I say that I am never easy on Ned. I'm sure he can attest to that. But I do it from a place of genuine concern and hope for this blockchain. I wish others would understand that and stop acting as if criticism alone will actually be the thing that holds this blockchain back or brings it down.

Thank you for a very non-gas-lighting and non-brown-nosing reply.

One of the reasons I enjoyed testing was that I actually got to point out things that weren't working without hearing, "don't be so negative." Instead I heard, "but it's working as designed."
Pretty sure the system here is, unfortunately Working as Designed, with unforseen consequences because none of the designers are eating the dog food that they are making any more, as a newbie, from a newbie perspective.
I've seen old timers say two things that are not true any more.
a well written intro post brings in a good amount of money to get started on (Maybe so If your good buddy promotes your post and buddy is well connected)
It doesn't really take that long to get to 500 sp.
Bother.
Anyway, Nice to meet you.
