I'm sort of morbidly fascinated in trying to work out what on earth the aim here is!

At this point I'm guessing they (the overlords) ultimately want to trash the Steemit part of the platform, and make it just Steem the crypto - leaving an opportunity to drive a bunch of bloggers over to some new platform they will set up - recently I thought maybe Pocketnet, but that seems to be utter crap, or maybe something new based on the scam crypto EOS.

I used to think they were so damn cunning and always a step ahead, but lately I'm thinking they are just totally incompetent...

As I powered down my Steemit accounts I put the Steem into more solid cryptos - Etherium, Bitcoin, Dash, Etherium Classic, and Monero - and now only hold coins on the Exodus wallet which can be shifted about fast.

These days I think Steemit is all a big scam, set up to make $ for the insiders, develop social media bots, and promote crypto scams, but possibly it became a threat to sheeple control because in 2017 the standard of some of the posting was getting very high, so they had to fuck it up - or maybe they really did just fuck it up by mistake - intent or incompetence? - the million $ question
