For the projects that I've talked about this privately, I appreciate your co-operation and your promise to change things up and I hope that us together countering this bad activity will send more value your way for your projects that may bring/keep value on hive rather than what I've been mostly seeing lately.
I guess you have already talked to the owners of such projects as these are in my eyes the bigger problems. Let these projects rethink their curation / L2 token usability rather than punish small shrimps who utilize the services. Ofcourse you have mentioned excessive abuse rather than small fishes but I guess you get my point.
The owners of the projects are the ones who we need to convince that they are stimulating 'bad behavior' in the first place.
Atleast that's my 2 cents, open to discuss!
I agree fully, but as I said they have no reason to listen if it's going to affect their downline, many may use authors as a shield to hide behind to keep their selling active. Last thing I wanna do is downvote random users who don't know any better or these projects are just part of their rewards.
As you can see the comment by @brofund in here, that's what I hope people will opt for instead.
