RE: Crash Test Dummies
A fund manger once told me that they always charge for seminar attendence, despite many of their competitors running free seminars. And the reasoning has remained with me.
If you charge, the attendee values the event, will attend and will be engaged. If you do not charge, attendees do not value the event, have a tendency to be absent on the day and appear far less engaged.
I have noticed this behaviour throughout my career too.
If the Steemit powers had of left it at the oringinal RC rates, those who value this platform would have found a way to boost their Steem Power, so no need to cave in imo.
Not complaining - just saying.

Someone asked me the other day if my students learn from me and the answer is, "yes, they pay to."
When there is money/time/effort/emotion invested there is a much higher rate of engagement which is why as people power up, they feel more attached to the platform and, care more about what happens here.
I agree but, they have other issues to concern themselves with than the contant barrage of complaints. This way it is a short-lived compromise I'd say. soon it will be left entirely to the community and we will see who is here long-term and, who actually gives a damn.
