VantoCan Extracts here. Thanks for reading.
Our strategy here has been to gain Steem as fast as we can, but it has been very slow. We're almost to 14 Steem now, after lots of posting, commenting, and careful interaction on the blockchain at least twice a day, for many months.
So it's sad to get a screen popping up when we try to do ANYTHING, saying "pay more if you want to continue". Using this site has real costs, it says. That's not what the signup page says... it invites people to become members so they can earn money by creating or viewing content. Almost the opposite.
I would ask "is anyone else having these issues?" but if you are, you probably can't leave a comment, or even vote.
If this posts, and you're reading this, just know that we're out here and you aren't alone. Hopefully they'll fix this issue soon so you can be seen and heard again!
