I am ok with the experiment however initially I found it frustrating as it was not presented to the community in an appropriate manner. There is need for a communication channel for announcements. I also feel there will need to be an adjustment in the code moving forward. Maybe this could be a group consensus however this really is the responsibility of the development team and the stake holders. The people behind Steem. Again, there should be an open channel or feed where specific blogs can be created to better inform the community of events that will affect us. This would reduce the anxiety and emotional energy that was experienced, both positive and negative, from this experiment. No-one enjoys having their environment manipulated and no one enjoys seeing their payouts diminished due to an an experiment that had no boundaries and one that no-one really understood initially. Surely witnesses and the development team can create some better 'decentralised' and 'mutual' protocol here? Regardless.....Steem and Steemit.com have a very strong future and all it takes is unity and consistency. Some code changes, better communication, and specific platform advancements in functionality will be paramount. In the meantime...I will be contributing as best I can. :)
