It is very interesting to see the reactions of everyone around here. It raises up the biggest issues with steemit:  

1) there is no democracy to decide over the  changes in how steem works, and that is usualy ok with closed platforms such as facebook that steal users stake (content), but with steemit, we have way more expectations, including being heard and keeping our stake (money) safe, 

2) this system is not serving the humans and is not developed to adapt to human scales, so it has to be tweaked and hardcoded. 

3) SPAM is hard to avoid and the most successful  ways to fight it include machine learning, while Steemit is attempting to put limitations to both, bots and humans. 

I am not that mad with steemit, mostly because I don't depend on it, finantially. I know development is hard and I know what it is to put out a system that fails in production and having to fix everything on the run. It sucks and is quite embarrasing. I understand you, and don't hate you. I do hope the steem elite notices those big 3 issues and work hard to overcome them.
