Do you believe they (especially whales) adapt to these conditions before voting? Honestly, I don't believe it.
We need a mechanism to downvote these proposals. The gtg_return proposal can't stop this money leakage; it needs a strict mechanism like flags if we feel something is not worthy enough to earn from the DHF.
Anyway, it's good that big HP holders are starting to talk about this. I think we are the only chain that prints money out of thin air and pays these proposals without questioning what they are doing. 😄
People who raised their voices against this are either labelled as spammers or added to the blacklists of whales forever. At least now you are discussing what can happen here. Actually, these whales were the first people who understood the risk we are in—because they hold millions of HIVE, which means millions of $$$.
Let's hope they will strictly follow what you pointed out here.
Cheers~
Good that we can have the conversation here!
