Just another reason not to use Busy. Admittedly, Busy has been falling behind for a while now. @steempeak is a much better and stable UI, which has all of the same features and a way better UI.

This is a dodgy change.

I do every now and then. but you are right at least warn people. It appeared last weekend I think and have given them once and buggered up an extra one that I thought I had unclicked. I think there should be a box of 1-10 percent and it should stay there permanently and you can just choose what you want to give. I agree with @whatsup saying they have to be self sufficient.

I noticed the box and I leave it checked about every other time. I think 5% seems fair. I do get your concerns, but on one hand everyone is asking the apps to become sustainable, they are going to have to take money from somewhere.

I any case they also provide a nice upvote. :)

Good point thanks for making it clear to others that hadn't noticed.

Dear @themarkymark

This is absolutely wrong approach and I'm surprised that busy.org decided to play it out this way. Thx for sharing this info with us.

Cheers, Piotr

It's pretty lazy. I don't think they even talked about it anywhere.

It just appeared.

Honestly I noticed that last week I foudn that decision weird too

Noticed this too the other day and was actually unsure how long it had been up for. Thanks for clearing things up. I do feel like keeping it checked every now and so often is fair and find myself agreeing with you on the always on aspect of it. Thanks for sharing!

Better watch out man or they'll change it to 100% on you

The option should be turned off and only be turned on if a person clicks on it, if a person wants to help out the project. Being perma on is trying to trick people into giving them money imo.

The worst part is that they didn't inform the community they were doing this, they just did... at least I didn't see any posts explaining this new (forced) option.

I took this information as a breaking news. Thanks a lot for reveling the hidden truth

For now, busy is the least interesting of all the front-ends for steem! Access Revoked! ;)

Yeah I always have had mixed feelings about it. Some good things some bad. Steempeak is where it is at.

Agreed on Steempeak... I like that a lot! The idea of Steeve is not bad either... After all the condensers tested I stay mostly with Steempeak for now.
