Hey, while I agree there are many issues, I think you have misunderstood the situation. RCs are not the same thing as VP, they are different. RCs are just the new name for bandwidth and you lose  VP independently from RCs

NO ONE is going to join now and people like me are LEAVING! Good job @steem @ned and @steemitblog you DESTROYED the platform! You made it so simply POWERING UP costs RC which as i explained is your VP now.. So you have a choice... Follow someone OR up vote to earn money.. Update your profile OR up vote yourself.. Well i choose just to up vote myself now and show just how shitty this upgrade is... 2 can play at this game while i wait 13 WEEKS for my steem to become liquid again! You change the rules overnight yet I have to wait 13 weeks to cash out? SCAM! You botched the upgrade last week and had a false start leading to 37 hours of down time and we are told just wait it out... SCAM! We are told this week oh just wait 5 days and it will be okay... SCAM! All you have done this last 2 weeks is BREAK steem, BOTCH every upgrade (5 now in 9 days) and prove why @dan left! You are an INSULT to developers and should be ashamed of yourselves! FUCK YOU!

# Life is all about the better choices.  
So, first, we must ask which choices we have at the moment in the real world. We can think about alternatives to Steemit, like Gab, Minds, Bitchute, Real Video, and we can try them.

# We can help them. 
By the way, here is a secret, RC does not steal SP, SBD, or Steem from your own wallet. Instead, SP increases your RC. 

# Paper Steemit Mario
When you use RC, it then replenishes like Heart Power (HP) in Paper Mario. We can talk about making Steemit and other websites, other things better. 
# Gab Over Steemit or Minds, etc? Competition? 
In some ways, Gab is better than Steemit as it is faster to post, share, and profit from premium content where you sell your posts to your subscribers. But Steemit is the best for long-term Steem earning which can later be exchanged for Bitcoin, etc. 

# Steemit Sunshine? Where? 
Yeah, Steemit has problems, but together, we are trying to make it better. If there are places that are a lot better than Steemit, please tell us. Together, we either make Steemit better and/or other places better. Should there be comment and posting limits? 

# Original Oatmeal from Oregon? 
Maybe, I'm thinking. I'm Oatmeal. I'm sympathizing, empathizing, with what you say and kind of agree that I kind of don't like RC but I understand that websites, technology, servers, etc, cost money. So, what can we do to pay the witnesses? Gofundme? Soros Pay Pal?

I'm not trying to summon your wrath or anything just an honest question. :) What do you mean by "But RC = VP which is your EARNINGS!!!" Are you just saying that you won't be able to vote if you are low on RC? Because your voting power is not the same as your resource credits. They recharge separately.
