Actift basically became the new drugwars and it is getting way out of hand. People don't even try anymore all using the same image that shows on the front page and the same standardized post title with just a little bit of text. This should not be what Steemit/sportstalk is about.
The bigger issue is probably that there are no clear rules in place. I haven't downvoted anything yet since HF21 but will also probably start doing so.
