Hi small1axe...I completely understand your frustration; many here are expressing a similar view. Perhaps the top brass no longer care much about the 'blogging' aspect of steemit, knowing that Dtube will probably become the most profitable.
Over the past 40 or so years, the 'reading' population has been in a steady decline, so that leaves sites like steemit and it's 'writing' community at a disadvantage. Anything even 'semi-intellectual' posted/created here will only have the more astute minds attracted to it...
I hope your 'protest' helps spark improvement. You have 'legitimate' complaints.
Thks , to me a vote should be only that , just a vote , not like now where ones wealth gives one more power .
I did not like that part from start , it's not the people that vote on Steem , sadly it,s only the money that votes here .
