I haven't commented in a while or posted in a long while so this is all news to me but gathering from what I've read could it be that the 'improvements' that are causing the problems experienced are having the intended effect of discouraging the "follow and upvote me please?" people who see the short term goal of profit as their main motive for participating. All part of the growth process of steemit? Just a thought.
