This entire HF21 just feels like Steem inc want a front page with actual quality content like Reddit that regular people who don't need to have a steem account visit on a daily basis so they can get more advertisement revenue.

Downvotes will trigger people like crazy (I noticed it happening to myself also), non-linear reward curve will make it impossible to get anything going for new and regular small-mid-size users. It will be impossible to give a small thank you to readers who took the time to make a comment they put some time in. Most people I know who that are active daily on Steemit also have the 'build your own account' mentality (including myself) which is highly consistent and gives a strong reason to hold SP.

I hope there is still a way to stop this, it feels like literally 100% of users is against what is about to happen with HF21
