I can somehow understand why some people would prefer shittposting if it pays better than a normal content.
But, when they are called out on it and lose their tap, they cry. This is a community and in a community, behaviors matter. Act like a dick and eventually, someone will chop it off.
If you enjoy posting the battles, post. I do think that Splinterlands has to do a far better job of getting their user base engaging with each other though. So much of the content isn't consumed at all.
