That's a generous and thoughtful suggestion @energyaddict22. I remember when I first came here that I was unable to join because I didn't have one Steem let alone four.

The whole thing just says to me that the platform is broken. The fact that this is such a huge issue for newbies says that something is not right. Well we all know that I suppose.

This seems to be a big transition point in Steemit's history (or maybe it's just the first one I've been around for) and, in a way, I think the low price of Steem is helping to highlight the major flaws with the platform which is, hopefully, a good thing.

Maybe it will turn into being the time when those with the power are forced to make some changes. There does seem to be a bit of an escalation of posts about the inequality of it all and people speaking out.
