There's something that scares the hell out of me about Steemit and it's the fact that this is still a "baby" platform, and problem like this can kill it. Youtube, for example, is big enough to be safe from a sudden death. Steemit is not. And things like this can, easily, kill the platform, if we all get frustrated and the market keeps this boring.
That's why we should treasure Steemit as no other platform, and stay here even when things look a bit problematic. We can't let it die :/
