There's always been a fee. Steemit.com has just been paying the fee everytime someone signs up.

The old (fee based) model still exists and isn't going away, but this is a new way of creating accounts by paying a smaller fee and then delegating something like 11x the fee as SP to the account.

The word fee is somewhat misleading. The amount of the 'fee' ends up as SP in the new account. It would be better termed 'initial SP balance'

@smooth , you seem like a balanced representative of steem. I've always thought so. Voted for you as a witness.

Thank you for the vote. I'm not a representative of anyone other than myself. I'm happy to have your support in any case. I mean as a witness I do try to follow the views of those who vote for me, but it is more of an informal thing.
