This changes will surprise the users that have moved into their own comfort zone making lots of money with Steem wrongfully delegated to their accounts.
Ethereum wouldn’t have happened if true entrepreneurs never came to make use of the platform. Steemit got full with false entrepreneurs (whales) that abused their voting power to build and destroy users and that is what the changes are coming to eradicate.
The purpose of blockchain that I like the most is that it will allow the fair distribution of wealth around the world and the changes coming to the Steemit platform will allow for this distribution to happen.
Groups of people that tried to enrich themselves by trying to cheat on a platform that isn’t fully launched or still on its test stage will suffer the consequences and will pay for being greedy and for misinforming new users.
Steemit needed this to shake off all the crap that lots of ignorant fools covered this amazing platform with. 😊
