Is Steem DEAD? I think it may be! Getting ready to power down if this continues!
From Steemd on one of my accounts:
Enough credits for approximately:
0 comments (0 after recharge)
0 votes (3 after recharge)

i'll have ZERO after 3 days
i'll be allowed to make ZERO comments
0 votes
0 transfers
I can't even power up with FULL RC! In essence Steem is DEAD! Who the fuck thinks a social platform is going to succeed when you can't post comment or reply? I make 100s of comments a week! Now they dropped me to 0 on some accounts! It used to be free to make posts and comments, now it costs you RC which is your voting power, and if you have a tiny bit you have no incentive to even engage!
The new way is, just make a post, self up vote and leave! They destroyed the platform!
FUCK YOU @ned you DESTROYED the very reason we are on here! Having a platform that charges a tax to do something that doesn't make you money just encourages people to self up vote MORE and create rings that do not make engaging comments and replies (since they cost RC now) and instead just circle jerk their group! IE make a post, and have everyone and themselves up vote it every day and never make a single comment or reply to another person. This platform is now DEAD! Unless you have a HUGE amount of Steem Power you are choosing between voting and simple things like following someone and replying to them... HOW is this good @ned? No wonder the team fell apart and @dan left! He saw this coming and you all hid it very well! You knew this was your goal and instead of making it public you buried it!
STEEM IS DIEING! We are forking! If you run a Witness please get in contact with me! We are going to roll back the RC plugin update and reinstate the old VP/Bandwidth system which encouraged engagement by all Steemians! PLEASE join us as this update not only fucked us but fucked most of you as well I am sure! Lets show them just how serious we are at having the rules we AGREED to changed overnight!
3 months to power down but they can change the rules overnight! FUCK THAT! Join us!
Rant over!
Are you abandoning shadowbot on this platform? If so i need to change my future plans?
weku already has the old blockchain running with a new coin. Would your blockchain run similar to this?
We may have to, this is THEIR choice not ours! We had NO intention to leave but this upgrade FUCKS up the entire system not just Shadowbot but ALL engagement and reasons to even hold STEEM.
The new fork would be the REAL steem we knew and loved. All accounts would resume exactly where they are but with the OLD rules that we all agreed to and knew WORKED! RC plugin would be deactivated and the old VP/Bandwidth system restored so we can all engage fairly and actually have a platform we love! @ned and his team changed the rules on us all for no reason over night and these rule changes now clearly show the system is limited and only for the rich... How can you scale a blockchain and social platform when only those with over $10,000 USD invested can even make a post more than 5 times a day? You ever use twitter or facebook? You make more than 5 interactions a fucking hour! This update unfairly charges us for things we HAVE to do, effectively being a tax on all steemians!
FUCK YOU @ned! Your upgrade sucks and we want the old system back!
just checking what new accounts can do on the blockchain
geeezzz 2 comments after a full recharge.. Whos gonna stick around and wait?
EXACTLY! Now you get my point! We HAVE TO revert! Get ready for a REAL hard fork to a NEW COIN! #FUCKSTEEM! and @ned FUCK YOU TOO you cock sucker! Go blow @dan some more you piece of shit!
I don't like this either but I do feel that we should let this Update sync in a little and see what comes out. I am a Gamer and I know after every Big Updates in a Game there comes a short period of Time when things are unstable, but it gets fixed with further patches.
So currently I am waiting to see if this system works.
Think for a minute... RC = your life blood here.... Now following someone, commenting, updating your profile, just simple things that cost us Bandwidth before and not our VP cost us effectively our VP through RC...
So you think that I as a steemian want to waste my precious RC following you instead of just making posts, commenting (which costs RC) and then self upvoting??? The old system let me post for FREE and there was no reason to hoard RC.. NOW it is just a focus on how much can i keep my RC for myself! So basically if you want to exist here now you choose between following me back and another vote?!!! HOW does that make sense to anyone??? This new system is insane and only favors those who WANT to abuse the platform either as a whale by only upvoting and supporting their small group and/or for the rest of us by realizing we shouldn't bother following you but rather using that RC to upvote OURSELVES! This update only makes MORE reason to centralize the vote! FUCK @ned!

The new update is working fine..and RC is fast recovering with each comment..user with alt account are sufferring a lot due to their low sp...which limits them in further engagement on steemit

@bigdeej, my first reaction too for 48 hours, these people arent people people are they, they could have talked a bit more during the holocaust hahah
gods dam' i forgot all about weku !
@dune69 do you know if they have a similar api running like condenser ? would basically be a breeze to duplicate a feed like that ?
not sure .. don't know too much about that side of it
I just signed up early to see where it goes
yah , i made a post there somewhere, i should probably login to see where it goes, thing is if it has the same public api it shouldnt be too hard to run a double blog, but they probably wont have steembasicincome or incinboost or steem-ua yet
I feel ya. Super frustrated too!
This is insanity! We are recruiting a new team to fork steem all together and fix the issues! This HF20 never should have been approved by the witnesses and never should have been adopted and by now should have been rolled back! ANYONE supporting this upgrade at this point is not thinking with their brain but thinking in terms of what @ned says!
Rediculous how is this going to encourage anyone to sign up or keep using the platform
It is making LONG time steemians like myself question the platform! new people ROFL! We aren't getting new users! This is forcing us all out! Get ready for a REAL HARD FORK where we roll back these draconian style RC bullshit for the old tried and tested VP/Bandwidth system we knew and agreed to! 3 months to withdraw SP but 3 hours to upgrade to this insanity is NOT fair! FUCK @ned and FUCK @steem!
I bought it soooo many users from real life but they all but one gave up really quickly it's hard enough to get started unless something changes a bit no one will stick it out, no ones going to power up on a platform they don't know or likely don't trust esp if quite new to crypto.
NO ONE is going to trust @ned or @steem after this! You have to wait 3 months to powerdown but they change the fucking game half way through and fuck you over!!!! Good bye STEEM! Thanks dick i mean @ned
4 of my accounts were completely blocked , i thought it was the end too
This post was a real eye opener, most definitely wont be investing large portion of my FIAT holdings into this platform. What is going on and has continued to go on for over a year is complete rubbish. I remeber back in June 2017 steem was fun and productive, now it is just a waste of time. I do not know why I keep on trying to come back here. Its the definition of insanity.
Agreed! Most people don't even realize WHAT is going on and WHY it is so crazy now! Check out whaleshares if you haven't already, they are starting to seem like the new option for us steemians who invested so heavily into this platform (time and money)!
I just sign up today, thinking its free. Now i paid 5 usd just to start using steem. I think you are right.
Take a peek at our great community here @shadowbot! We are the last hope left to revive any worthwhile return on investment here!
