Steemit Changes: a short animation

frame_1554315791900_20190403192642695.jpg

There were changes made to Steemit last night as you are all no doubt aware.

Some of the half-crazed reactions to it, inspired me to do a short animation.

I used to always do these but there hasn't been enough drama to do them about of late.

Until last night when Steemit released a long trailed change to split out the Wallet from the Steemit.com domain.

It wasn't perfect by any means. There are still a couple of bugs to iron out but hopefully, they will quickly get ironed out.

The reaction to the changes... Was it cheers and hip hip hoorays for all the hard work?

Nah. Instead, the utter bilge that was spouted in the comments was beyond hilarious. Threats of power downs and the Steem token diving into extinction.

I mean, seriously. Now, I can understand people being frustrated with the rollout and communication or lack of, in some opinions being a concern. I get that. People have a right to gripe and air their frustrations.

But some of the old timers and long term steemians that were threatening to leave/powerdown/masturbate themselves to a frothing fury death was just ridiculous.

Changes are gonna happen. I think we can do without the threats of oblivion.

We can certainly do without the people making them!

That's right, I said it. Come at me brohams!

    there were changes? Well, no one told me... then I'm always in the dark, and I prefer it that way. I find the less I know, the better, so far it's worked perfectly! Now if you told me they were going to stop making beer or outlaw it, then I'd take notice!

    Love the animation !

    Some time back when I did my first power up, afterwards I could not get back into Steemit. I did what everybody said till I was tired of it...... and later found out there was a glitch and lots of folks could not get back in with any key. Yeah.... I was just banging my head on a locked door, but I didn't know it.

    I tried one more time when "they" said which key to use, but still didn't work, so I have just used Busy since then. I was using both, but if one doesn't let me in, I have to use the other. I mean, I can't use it if it doesn't let me sign in...... .right?

    As long as there are alternatives though, it's not a big deal.

  • @len.george(63)· 2705d

    Have you changed 'beer Night' to Wednesday? With those poor little figments of a well-loaded brain committing sideways I was thinking you must have found a couple of 10/10 beers, and scoffed a lot. Change will happen, there was talk over my head, (that's why you have a smart son to tell you what to do), then things will go on as normal again. As far as I can see, it is to stop baddies scamming me out of my hard earned cents,( I dont make dollars).

  • @soyrosa(75)· 2705d

    Ahahahaha - that's exactly what happened. Thanks, made me laugh :')

  • @glenalbrethsen(71)· 2705d

    Hey, @meesterboom.

    I was fairly early getting to that post, since the changes seem to happen just before I noticed the post, so I guess I missed out on all the blood letting and cursing of children to the tenth generation.

    I'm okay with that by the way. Missing out, I mean. :)

    I can't say that I'm thrilled with signing into the wallet every time I want to claim rewards (didn't used to do that), but I can't say I wasn't warned weeks in advance that changes were coming, either. I would hope that more people would follow just to know what Steemit Inc is up to, especially since they've been doing a much better job of updating us.

    The ads thing, well, that's kind of in overkill right now. I could do without, but there's always other ways to do what I want to do. Life goes on. :)

  • @ddschteinn(65)· 2705d

    Ah, I am so glad for a new brew-ha-haa to pop up on the horizon, as I have greatly missed your little self-destructing stick persons. Nothing quite like them in the world. (Probably because they seldom live long enough to procreate...) I wondered aloud to self about that new, annoyingly large blue bar up at the top, and yet, being a chicken, who does not open things that 'just pop up', because many are full of bad things, that fry your expensive Interbox machine, I did my best to ignore it. I'm good at that. (Even hitting the little 'close' X on ads, now opens some of them. The doofi are getting craftier) Cheers, and have a grand one.

  • @aussieninja(70)· 2705d

    Ha! It never even occurred to me to read the comments on their blog. I can't for the life of me figure out why people would want to power down just because the wallet is on a different URL.

    My favourite bit of this was the guy shooting at the megaphone. It's literally the best reaction to a megaphone ever. Well done young chap!

  • @dreemit(73)· 2705d

    LOLOLOL, hahahaaaaa, fucking perfect!!!

    I started reading the comments of that post....but my eyes rolled so hard they got stuck in the heavenward position. Shit. People are so freaking dumb.

  • @enjar(79)· 2705d

    Now that is a funny animation 11/10 would watch 50 more times.

    Even if they told people months prior with giant blazing red hot Cheeto letters popping up on you screen while it made siren sounds at full volume every time you visited the site there would still be "omg I did not know."

    At least we have a few platforms options as well if one turns into something we no longer want to use.

  • @abh12345(80)· 2705d

    Av some of these for your hard work sir. And be sure not to be afraid of the, NEW WINDOW!

  • @choogirl(65)· 2705d

    It's funny, I got home from the gym and was annoyed at my crossfit app changes (which are actually worse since it won't even import all your past results to track your progress) and then I went to steemit and saw everyone was gettin' upset about wallets and ads!

    I've missed your animations which always end in blood and guts going everywhere.

  • @cryptoandcoffee(85)· 2705d

    Lol. Someone even dies in your animations. Obviously one of those smarter people who knows his way around the computer. No wonder you laughed at me for copy and pasting a text banner.

  • @acolucky(65)· 2705d

    As soon as I figure out how to access my wallet, jostle my steem, and rub it up and down my chest like I used to do without interuption, I am going to come right at you, bro.

    (Seriously though, I had some problems. And I'm not sure if I got it worked out ideally. But I do have control of my wallet and earnings now on my laptop. So, I suppose I understand some of the angst.)

  • @davedickeyyall(79)· 2705d

    I considered the masterbating to a frothy furious death.. but quickly abandoned that thinking when I realized I was out of Baby Oil 😂

  • @gardenlady(66)· 2705d

    There were changes? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • @aftabkhan10(68)· 2705d

    Haha cool. Yeah our situation is the same. Enforced the change on us. Let's hope it works well :)

    All I have to say is ...

    I'm glad to see another animation. It's been a long time!

    What's that you say about change?

    hrmmmmmmm.... pretty pictures .......
