If you don't see a problem, you might not care for Steemians interaction as much as I do.
Good choices Vs Bad choices
I believe what make people stay is not (just) the money, at the very least not for me. It is for the interaction with Steemians. You create, you consume, you have fun, you get frustrated. This is what brings ore people onboard. What motivates me is when I get a real comment, from someone who actually read what I bothered to write. No wonder they made it worth to comment since you get money for it. I recall my first payout was for a comment. It felt very special.
Resteeming is a nice feature, that help you promote to your followers certain content that caught your eyes. Of course I don't like seeing only resteems on someone's profile, as they tend to go in all directions and that might not be why you checked that profile in the first place.
Resteem only before payout
... reduce it to express only promotion of content on which we have an economic incentive. I may be the minority here, but sometimes I just want to share something with the whole world.
I was surprised by this decisions, to say the least.
