Great words here and I think that many witnesses have realized similar things and the fact that we need to push our own development as a community will be a key next step. I believe the capacity is out there as we see the DApps being created which are much better ways to engage with the ecosystem. I think that that will be a great step in the right direction. I too am concerned about the small users and new users coming on to see that their engagement is not rewarded or is limited; but I think that wasn’t the objective of the RC system so changes may be needed. However, an unwarranted experiment may result from this as spam is definitely being limited as well. It may have been a good time for this to happen given how low posts and comments as well as active users have been lately; so time will tell the ultimate cost of this Hard Fork. Thanks for your feedback!
