Yes, its a huge disappointment that steemit inc went for the model where people have to pay money to post and comment.. a clear indication that either the organization is completely detached from reality or theres zero communication.

maybe by some off chance it might work but im quite sure its gonna hinder steem from ever growing again, or give a new platform like weku, smoke.io and others to take advantage. The data will be there. Itll show us whether this was a good decision or not. We'll see 🤔
