Still not the point. The issue I am talking is not about whoever is to blame for whatever happened on Steem.

My point is about how many actual users you want HIVE to keep, instead of they moving completely to another platform, or even how many more people the witness want to join HIVE.

People are more willing to stay on a place if they are incentivized to, and not punished for going across the street.

That is marketing 101...

But if network growth isn't something the witness want for the blockchain, well... just keep doing what you guys are doing.
