"...low Steem Power users are now able to comment, upvote, and transfer funds at an acceptable level."

The loud clamor I hear from those with low Steem Power and from those who strive mightily to nurse them along, strongly suggest that there is at least one of these three functions that is FAR from being supported at an "acceptable" level. My own two years of experience and observation of Steemit reinforce this conclusion.

I am of the strong opinion that inability to comment at will may very well be a Steemit killer.

Unless a new Steemian can freely comment—and thus fully exercise the "social" aspect of this blockchain's "Social Media" face—it will become nigh unto impossible to onboard new users, or to retain newbies who cannot avail themselves the social means to become known and to have their content appropriately supported.
