As Steem price has increased over the past couple weeks so has the cost of commenting/posting and doing transfers & Power ups. I'm lost on this as witnesses have had a major cost reduction in their server costs and steem value is on the rise increasing their earnings in fiat. Posting costs need to come down, not increase.

This level has continued to make it impossible for newer accounts to be social on our "social network". Until these numbers are reduced or RC delegation pools are created it's going to be very hard to onboard a large number of new users. Really hope that those who have the power to make changes do so as these prices are insanely high. A new person should not be expected to invest cash to post. It's a big deal now with 40c steem, can you imagine the issues when it's $2 steem and you need 100 steem to function?

Will keep posting updates for long term tracking purposes.

I did remove some past data to simplify the view. Past posts can be viewed to see the exact history of the RC's costs if you want to see them.
