I believe this will be quite a "shitshow downvote battle" in the first 2-4 weeks, combined with angry posts about somebody downvoting their content to zero because they disagree on opinions...
But once the dust has settled and people go back to calmness and understanding that the game has changed now, I hope it will be great long term.
Remember the hours and days after hf20? Not too many people concerned with RCs now, plenty more looking to see how they could be used later though.
I reckon you are right, shitshow to adjustment.
I don't agree that not many people are concerned with RC now, but you are right, the dust has settled after hf20 quite fast. Maybe 2 weeks of complaining about the worst implementation ever and now silence.
RC is actually quite an issue for new people not wanting to put a hundred bucks in this platform first. (because they have so little and need to wait quite a lot for being able to post and comment on a continuous basis which sucks and drives them off en masse)
I think the RC issues are getting cleared up through applications, not on Steem. The delegation pools need to happen for them though.
