Opening Steemit accounts has become much more difficult, and sometimes impossible without paying the required fee, even after waiting two weeks.

Few of the user already lost the username when the account finally created.

Why did they take these kind of precautions measures, mind explaining it to me?

Not sure ,but might be referring to the same reason.

I have never even tried to buy a steemit account I prefer to wait till I get the confirmation code although this take a good deal of time because there are also so many taking the same option but it's cheaper for me that way

But few people want it quick.
