I hear you. I was a bit discouraged with the HF and the down vote attack I received. But I love the platform and think it will be a social media force in the future. Some growing pains are to be expected. At least these changes came before 10s of millions of new accounts were added. So only the early adopters will remember some of this pain. I'm still rooting for Steem 110% and I think it will make it with the great people on here.
