Think for a minute... RC = your life blood here.... Now following someone, commenting, updating your profile, just simple things that cost us Bandwidth before and not our VP cost us effectively our VP through RC...
So you think that I as a steemian want to waste my precious RC following you instead of just making posts, commenting (which costs RC) and then self upvoting??? The old system let me post for FREE and there was no reason to hoard RC.. NOW it is just a focus on how much can i keep my RC for myself! So basically if you want to exist here now you choose between following me back and another vote?!!! HOW does that make sense to anyone??? This new system is insane and only favors those who WANT to abuse the platform either as a whale by only upvoting and supporting their small group and/or for the rest of us by realizing we shouldn't bother following you but rather using that RC to upvote OURSELVES! This update only makes MORE reason to centralize the vote! FUCK @ned!
