I was concerned about the hardfork, and was not for it, but once the argument was lost, I thought it was in the best interest of Steem to try it.

1. The price hasn't changed... um, it's beeen a week.
2. Downvote lists, are absolutely a suggestion not a order. People make curation posts all of the time. I've never seen anyone get upset about that.. How is it different?
3. I am still concerned about smaller accounts being able to earn
4. The trending page, yeah, I was worried about that too.
5. The bidbots are seeing very little action check it yourself on steembottracker.com

I've seen more than one small account saying they are getting curated more and I hope it lasts.

I'm not saying it is a smashing success what I am saying is usage and traffic have remained steady so far, the price has remained steady... I'm missing where this is a big problem besides what people fear.

Nor am I saying it's a smashing success, it's too soon.
