I think the FUD factor is based on the 2 part recipe of the power down changes in concert with the falling Steem price. Many of my friends here have stopped or reduced their writing output. I only lose my time at this point. It could be worse and we can only go up in my opinion. Thanks @tarazkp
Reducing output is fine, leaving is fine, increasing is fine. At the end of the day, we all make our own decisions and live with the consequences.
