Seems like an interesting dynamic to add.
I think most of this issue can be solved by more social interactions.
If more folks would join the hivewatchers discord and follow what they are up to, there wouldn't be these mistaken perceptions about what they do.
I try to keep up with the active downvoters and don't really see much abusive behavior from them.
The few isolated incidences I've been involved in have been more personality related than systemic, imo.
Given another year, I think defi opportunities will have most folks doing more than just posting to earn their lunch.
I know I am making more trading h-e tokens than I do posting.
I agree it isn't much of a problem anymore. But there was some talk on improving PoB, and I gave what I thought could help. Nothing here is going to radically change anything at this point; we're splitting hairs. As inflation goes down and tokenized communities go up, this whole convo will be mute. With that said, I love the theory behind it all and can talk about this stuff all day.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this @theycallmedan, it's helping me think through the various token types I'm working on for HAT. I will definitely use this as a resource.
