I have something to add, respectfully.
I think it's worth mentioning why those "spam comments" as they've come to be known appear to be hidden away. On the surface that might lead an individual to believe this was being swept under the rug but that's not the case.
Originally, when this 'project' began, those involved would post this same 'spam comment', then upvote it, and that 'spam comment' would be positioned high up on trending. When it was announced, the announcement post was 'trending'. Many people knew this was going on, because it was plastered all over the trending page, constantly. Many people were not happy with these 'spam comments', 'trending', several times per day, knocking down instances of actual content, and making the trending page look like, "crap."
So a bunch of us back then either complained or downvoted these posts. I was one of the 'complainers' if I remember correctly.
Eventually they decided to use the comment section rather than posting it directly to the trending page and taking away potential visibility from actual content creators. It wasn't 'hidden' from anyone. It was done this way so it would not interfere with those hard working fun loving creators of glorious content.
On the surface, to the untrained eye, this can look ugly.
But...
And of course it appears I'm muted and not allowed to be part of a community discussion. And since nobody can see, I guess it doesn't matter now that I forgot to wear pants.
Yes that is exactly what happened.
I know. Can say it confidently. No point in BSing on a blockchain...
I see you....
Yeah. But do you have to stare at it?
I am trying, but I can't stop.
The biased curation he does with the tribe account in this comment section is hilarious, anyone even slightly saying something positive about his post gets a big upvote to hide all the others who are calling out his lunacy.
I think it's safe to say plenty of individual minds following this chaos have been able to detect much fuckery.
They say, "When you point one finger, don't forget about the three pointing back at yourself."
Someone forgot...
