It's been good in one respect--this is the most a big group of witnesses has listened to non-witnesses on the state of steemit. Sort of, they are hearing words, which is a start. The walled barrier whenever non-witness speaks is still definitely there though. We are at the mercy of what to the top witnesses can come up with and them agreeing on it. That is why the upside is garbage-and why steem was 13 cents til Justin Sun's name was linked. Would be 1-5 cents right now if that didn't happen or someone else didn't come in to do the same thing. I was actually hopeful initially when I first heard Sun's name come out because I thought a chance arose to open some things up a little bit.
