So, after reading several posts over the last month about how Streemian has closed down, opened backup, closed down and now is back live again, I think this is to be disputed.
The site might well be back up and running but no one seems to be home. They have indicated that they have been struggling with funding leading to the site closing. Apparently, they and have now secured the funds hence their return. Seems a bit strange to indicate the reason for the closure was due to funds when they were utilising upvoters funds to upvote their own posts?
It’s easy to blame your tools, but it seems like to me that they have abused their position somewhat and it has back fired.
The site is up and running, but when it comes to their support team and submitting tickets their support department are non-existent. They are accepting 0.001 SBD to verify ownership of an account. But one that payment has been transferred from a wallet to their Memo nothing happens, the account stays locked!
If they have encountered issues with their platform whether it be financial or otherwise and they are looking to improve their system then an announcement should be made on their site and additionally they should not be allowing new comers to join or transfer a minimal sum to verify their account. This will just infuriate new comers and do little for their street cred.
I have read on a number of comments whereby new and established steemians have asked the question "Is there an alternative" in answer to that question the answer is YES is called STEEMAUTO it is in the early stages but it is simple to use interface and I can see it becoming the next big thing to hit the Steemit Tools/Apps, here is a link: Visit SteemAuto
Thanks for listening to my rant and good luck with SteemAuto
