I don't believe in curation being the magic bullet for everything, at least not in its current form. There is a place for promotion and I'm working on making it better, but this is not an overnight thing, it will take some more time.
If I had done it pre HF21, my "business" would have been swallowed by the rest, simply because 90% of bid-bots didn't give a flying **** about blacklists or anything else, and nothing could be done about it. This is much different now with HF21. Of course, this only matters if you actually care about how the situation unfolded.
I see the beginning of this happening, but you can't be butthurt over a Market reaction.
Butthurt? Me? Never! I'm simply arguing that shooting everything that moves, is not the way to go.
And I am saying it is a backlash, and it will calm down. It's day 4.
