That is sad to hear @novacadian, you should give Hive a chance, I have been around since the start of Steem and while neither Steem nor Hive is or was ever perfect, the current Hive is a hell of a lot better than what Steem is becoming under Justin Sun.

I am selling all my Steem and powering down all my SP and will exit Steem fully in a couple months once it's fully powered down.
