I had a lot of ideas to point out in this comment but I will just leave it at this, based on the failure of all past Hard Forks I am fairly positive this one also will be a flop.

Failure? here you are posting on the Steem blockchain, they haven't failed yet ;)
It also depends on what you are using to measure it, HF20 cut down spam significantly. HF19 did exactly what it was meant to do, then people gamed it with bidbots. They are the only 2 I have been a part of in the 2.5 years on the platform I think.
Oh yes they have, failure means that what was aimed for didn't happen and in no hard fork has the goal been met.
And come on, spam was cut because there are less users so the spammers went where there are more people to spam, Steemit became a not so good for spam land, as for people gamed it and bid bots appeared seems like a failure to me.
no, spam was cut by 80 percent in the first week of HF. I think @themarkymark did a post on it.
Well that isn't strange I remember I couldn't post either so it wasn't really the hard fork running away spammers it was a badly implemented concept that stopped a lot of people from posting, of course this included spammers.
ok... yet you are still here. Spammers?
Of course I am an actual user and I still use Steemit, but a lot of users left after that hard fork and that is one reason for less spam, because obviously there are less people to spam. If user numbers grow spammers will be back, it just comes with the territory you can't fix that. It is like bid bots, as long as big accounts delegate to them they are here to stay.
These people are in a cult man, somehow making it impossible for new people to get started here without paying is good, because it cut back on "hello friend" spam, thats just crazy. Two whales are spamming the shit out the place and no one can do anything but we cut off some guy from India fom making 10 cents.
What is the hardfork going to do to stop @animalcontrol from spamming the blockchain with impunity? The idea 50/50 or SMT's are going to save this place while the whole system is broken is laughable. I will not invest one penny because I would be buying steem from a spammer, or Ned or some other premine asshole. No one is dealing with the real issues of steem because all the witnesses are profitting from the current set up.
