Sorry this is a bit late. We had hurricane warning and I haven't been on the computer much the last week or so.
I would like to thank everyone that participated. The comments were very insightful to issues people had and what they thought of the change.

{Now it's hard for me to give one concentric thought on the matter, so lemme split it into the reactions I had throughout the implementation to now.}
Day One
This is a clear cut case of a clear fuck up. I mean, how can you fuck up when you know everybody's accounts are at stake. Now I like to clear up one thing: I was technically taking a day-off. Awesome, but not awesome for those that have to deal with contests, wanted to post or even just interact with people in general. I mean, they said they tested this or not? In any case, it's implicit that if you implemented code, that you then checked it so minimal amount of errors to none will show up on the first DAY! But this, as aforementioned, wasn't a mere fuckup on a small scale - this hurt even raising and existing whales, the big accounts that probably be bruised and be able to limp along. No, everyone got screwed up by this.
Everyday since Day One until the "Continuity"
To call this as a fuckup was a mistake, no it was a bloodbath of complaints, memes, outlashes and hyperconservative posting. For the days Steemit had been effectively down, communities freaked out about the RC system and if they could manage on with the community. Not only that, but those that work as minimum wage (like the ones in Africa) had an embarrassing period of time where they couldn't do anything and not earn any extra income to stave off this website depression. I'm sorry not sorry, don't tell me this was a success.
"Continuity" Day
Finally, the HF20 system had been updated to overcome these issues and finally everybody can get back to their normal posting. But now we had the slow grind to get the gears back at it with the grinding and rotating to keep the Steemit machine going. And for this time when it got the recent update to now, every contest to the biggest whale had to do a self-reboot to just get back at the groove of posting. This day, regardless of one's perception of the matter, should be remembered and we should pose this bad memory every time they post about a new update that is to come. To ensure they won't forget to not fuckup.
Honestly my mood about HF20:
@clmstudios
I am new to steemit so the hf20 was a bit of an upset but now it seems to be settling down. I wasn't making much before on my post and now seem to be making even less. Hopefully this will change soon. Steemit in theory is a great platform and I do believe the platform will eventually live up to expectations. I will continue to invest to help it grow.

Thankfully HF20 and my writer burnout happened at the same time, people on steemit are very different from the regular social networking crowd. Every day people want to chat, share pics and links, but nothing that requires critical thinking skills, if steemit blew up like FB all the original Steemians would be so offended by the riff raff they would leave and start a new network, its just my observation as an outsider, for content creation this is incredible, for people who want to throw up one pic, or one simple comment they would find it overwhelming. Im happy with the way it is. I did find it odd that for HF20 they just flipped a switch and let anarchy rule considering how many cryptophiles have a lot of bank locked up in steemit.
