I have only been on steem block chain for 2 years, and only gone through one HF, (HF20), it was not that good it has caused issues, it still has issues, but those issues only bother the non-important people like me. It all works fine for those that approved HF20 or there would have been some changes. I am sure HF21 is going to work fine for the important people, and once again the non-important people like me will just have to live with it, or move on.

The important people do not think they are sending the baby on a free-fall, the free fall was caused by the market, not by the decisions of the important people who decided HF20 was the cure all of cure all of spam problems, and other problems, of how it was going to make it so so easy for everyone to make steem available for all their friends for free and onboard them via the everyone can make free tokens to onboard friends and family members. This has obviously worked miracles for the onboarding of new people to steem. HF21 will work just fine for the people it is meant to work for, it is just not meant to work for people like me, or so it seems at this point, In six months I may be singing a different tune, i doubt it, but miracles can happen, just look at all the new onboarded people from HF20, and how many of those stuck around.
