Thanks for tactfully spreaking out what most of us think, Luke!
These 150 comments show that you touched an issue many many users are concerned about. You made some excellent points, and it felt good to scroll through the comment section, critics are made but in a constructive way.

We're not complaining, we're concerned about something that we've built all together. That only happens because we care and we want this to succeed.

Well here is my no.1 frustration point:
This community is supposed to invest all of their money into this platform, power up whatever they have, spend 24 hours blogging, commenting, curating, add infinite passion, love and 120% commitment. But when problems arise then the users should please be quiet and patient and just behave as if nothing ever happened. It doesn't work like that!

I really hope they will read your article and wake up. A short statement could help so much.
