I guess I have gotten cynical and skeptical as well, @stef1. Whereas it doesn't bother me that there will be no more TRX rewards, what does bother me is the total lack of communication about it.

I don't know why I'm surprised, though. Steemit, Inc. has a long history of keeping the community totally in the dark as to what is happening. I'm not even sure those who run witnesses even know what's going on...
