There is no part of me that thinks this is a scam.
I do think there is an intelligent group of people trying to make thoughtful decisions on how to improve things.
They are missing experience (and the willingness to admit it) to deal with end-users and consider the impact of their changes.
@hawgwild hang in there, re-generate your main password just to be safe, Steemit luckily isn't Steem and so don't be put off. We have other ways to access the same platform (blockchain) like Busy (website like Steemit) , Partiko (app for phones's) or esteem who have a desktop UI as well, so we are pritty covered.
Steemit's been running many years which is a very long time in the Crypto time frame which has brought many people together since then from which other projects have stemmed from and now it;s time for a huge overhaul and revamp!
Thanks, that is starting to make a little sense now and hang in there with me I appear to be a slow learner. I'll give you an upvote for your consultation. Do have a great week.
Dont worry I am also a slow learner! Not all of us on here are tech nerds :)
