Alas, poor Yorick! by damienbaumgart
If that's the question, answer is simple. Go post and mock about it.
I've been reading about these changes, a lot. One of the good side of this VP drain is we finally have a stagnant, peaceful feed. I'm clicking trending and everyone talking about common problems, I can see two witness' post and a sale about SP delegation. That's the freaking feed I wanted to see all the time. However it's not going to be like this, we possibly have 1 or 2 more days like that. Then bid-bots going to be recharged. Unfortunately it's not called spam when steem riches does it.
Sad part is most of those "influencers" just focusing on the positive outcomes as always, it's kinda what they have to do but c'mon guys c'mon not this time, yeah it's going to cut the spam (or we think it's spam) while it's going to cut the guys who just trying to engage, new to the community, who doesn't know what to do around here, experimenting things like nonsense, one line comments or like me they are trying to be the part of the conversation with their limited english so cut it short. You are going to be targeted by resteem bots because they have the rights ($$), witnesses going to spam your wallets ($$) of course the bid-bots :) one amazing investor attractors...
The biggest change included in this update is that our previous bandwidth system will be replaced with a more accurate and efficient “Resource Credit” system. In another post we explained in detail how the RC system will further Steem’s lead as the most advanced freemium blockchain in the world.

First time I saw it's called freemium in here, which instantly irritated me. Bad news is you don't know what freemium is, ok I got it you used "mana" you played some RPG but you are far away from game strategy. Freemium model means you are free to play, in this case you are free to join which is untrue. You gotta pay. You should be free to use the service, in this case again false. You gotta pay. So it makes it premium service. I paid $500 to be able to write this post freely, I got extra leased delegation makes it total of 1300 SP which is like $1k let me comment 20 times a day. What? So it makes it directly premium and a little bit high-end product while you are not promising anything but dreams. Oh let's get back to freemium model, yeah in freemium model you are free to use the service as it is, you just only pay for extra/additional services like if you give massage while I was writing this post it would be a freemium service to charge for but NOPE no one busy with relaxing my muscles.
After all those posts I finally see one from stellabelle, which I invite you to read and follow what she does.

^ sorry for the tag
An already active user is literally forced to pay right now, to be able to continue his journey with steem. Many people thinks it's great, everybody going to invest in steem and prices go to the moon, let's even if that happens, if you look at the number we have like 60k active steem users. If all of them buys 500 and power up, makes it how much? IDK I don't even bother to calculate, it's no way near to the moon. And then what? Tomorrow 500SP won't be enough? Next 1K, how do you know you can catch this trend?
(my initial thought was just to leave it like a spam post but it wouldn't be clear enough.)
