I modified my behavior months ago, partially due to seeing the writing on the wall regarding this. I believe certain outcomes are more likely than not from these changes for the lower SP accounts (the majority of users still here), none outcomes I foresee as good for the average user.

I see talk now of mitigating some of it using other methods (such as Palnet), and shake my head. It seems similar to having to use Discord (as many do) to fully socialize this social site. Seems to me, at some point, if users have to build/use alternatives to supplement/circumvent shortcomings it is a sign that for the majority, they are dissatisfied with what is being offered.
