Ned & The Top 20
The scale of your incompetence is mind blowing. You take an already broken system, and break it even more. You do have a testnet, that apparently that is not used for testing. Why give a green light to a hard fork that halted the system, and is still frustrating everyone beyond belief? The old adage, look before you leap comes to mind. Is everyone just supposed to sit around for days on end, with their thumb up their ass waiting on resource credits to make a post or a comment? Well everyone except for you, and anyone sitting on a butt load of steem.
Commenting and posting is what drives the platform. Engagement is a priority, without it all hope is lost. Any new user that is looking to come into this platform has no shot in hell of ever gaining any traction, without being able to comment and post. Limiting them to just a handful of comments is pretty much suicide for the platform. And before anyone goes off on the "they didn't invest anything" tangent, they are investing their time and energy. Content creation is the life's blood of Steemit. So how much is everyone's time actually worth, in creating said content? Moving on...
So the big question is, why the screwup? Are you intentionally trying to make Steemit a Hell Hole? You should have fixed the existing issues before creating new ones... just sayin!
And I know you are going to ask, what existing issues? For starters, what about all the spam accounts that are created on a daily basis, that drain system resources? Resources, that we now have to pay for with... wait for it... resource credits. How many spam accounts are there actually? Anyone? You could have created a system for genuine account creation long ago, but you didn't. Epic Fail! You have witnesses doing spam patrol, policing Steemit every day. A big thanks to Steem Cleaners for doing an awesome job... your job! All of which could be avoided if you had only done something about it.
And let us not forget all the circle jerk voting that goes on every day, by big stake holders. Brings a whole new meaning to self enrichment and reward pool rape! I could go on, but I would be stating the obvious I think. And the sad part is, everyone knows about the problems! But nothing is done about it, and most likely nothing ever will be done.
And you are probably going to reply with, Steemit is decentralized, we can't do that. Bullshit! Steemit is so far removed from being decentralized, it's a joke. The top 20 do what STINC says. You say jump, they say how high? There a few in the top 20 that actually care, but very few it seems. As for the rest of the Witnesses that bust their ass making it happen everyday, thank you, you are appreciated. I have voted for you.
You 
And since we are talking problems... what is up with Steemit being in Beta for 2+ years? Is that supposed to be a joke? Anyone with any common sense knows that is total horse shit. I could write a short novel about all the problems, but it would be a fruitless endeavor. And I am done wasting my time here... so for all the people who want to know...
The ultimate question is.. What the hell are you planning on doing about the problems? Not a God Damned thing, we can bank on that to be sure.
The potential for this platform is huge, and so much good can be done! It is sad that this potential is wasted. There is more to life than filling your pockets with coin. Why don't you consider feeding starving people around the world, help the homeless, save abused children! Delegate some of those millions of Steem to accounts that actually try to do good. Just a thought!
And with that I will leave you with a song, reserved for those truly deserving:
