Thank you very much for the reply here Matt... This point sums it up perfectly:

The point of all this is that, very simply, the RCs given from the burned account creation fee (or discounted account creation token) must be enough to reasonably transact or the Steem platform has no future. Period.

I'm very happy to have you weigh in and to explain your perspective. As a successful app creator yourself (that is bringing new people into steemit), I would hope that @ned hears this point and does something about it.

I mean come on guys (Steemit Inc)... Why don't you just change the algorithm for commenting? Make commenting count less so people won't notice you have constraints? You can limit the posts, you can limit video and things like that, but don't stop people's ability to speak. This is just common sense.
