I was shocked upon seeing the transaction fees that are too high. It actually looks painful to me, and creating a long posts isn't something advisable. I even ran out of Blurt by creating my previous posts, and has to ask my friend @shawmeow for some Blurt tokens. I am even more skeptical with doing much curation this time.
So, please keep track of this.
I want feedback.
If you need some loose blurt for fees, tag me in a post. Will send.

My reply cost $.001
Somehow, this is not painful to me. It will be stored on around 100 computers, hopefully forever.
Soon, posting images and video will have a cost, as well!
I'm afraid of the upvoting costs. It was around 0.057 Blurt. That will drive some to keep from upvoting. Been tracking the costs. At times it is slightly lower.
This is indeed ridiculous...
Check what I pay for upvoting someone...

If that's the new normal, I'll have to leave because honestly, paying to have the right to upvote someone is, well, at least bizarre...

I'd rather you go than have the chain die. Have a nice day.
Hmmm, what a friendly answer. Well, at least it's polite.
But now I'm wondering what I ever did to you to deserve such an answer... I don't even know you, so I can't imagine what I ever could have done wrong to you...
Please take my words quite literally:
I would rather you leave the blockchain, than have the blockchain die a slow and painful death due to spam. You did make mention of leaving due to fees. Sorry the fees are too high for your taste.
Cannot be helped.
You never did anything wrong to me.
This is just reality.
Wouldn't it be great if the percentage of fees in curation is lower than from other transactions like posting? That way, spamming would be lessened, while curation would be great. I have been curating on #blurtfilipino but I couldn't just support everyone or I'll run out of Blurt unless our earnings would be 50/50 powered up and liquid Blurt. I am even skeptical to comment like this one. I also wanted to interact with fellow Filipinos because finally, we have our own community which I had been waiting for a long time as I am the solely Filipino posting religiously. I have been convincing some Filipinos before, and finally, someone stood up for the community. For some, the amount is fine but others might find it quite painful.
