I know what you mean. So much enthusiasm and hype is zapped due to the wait time. Its like refusing to create a bigger door for your customers even though you know there is a huge line. Steemit isn't selling a one off limited run product, the platform and everybody on it will benefit from mass adoption and to do that, we need more people on it in a more speedy manner. This might not be the permanent solution but it certainly helps bring on the people we can definitely vouch for! Cheers to that mate!
