There is no such consensus. I see plagiarised shit get to trending and nothing happens. Not a single downvote. I almost never see 'declined payment' on content that is being shared. Another thing, the 'declined payment' option is now in settings and not available on creation of posts; not everyone is aware of that.
There requires some effort to find good content that's why we have curation rewards. Also, this post was not self-voted. Considering all this, do you think this attack is justified in anyway. We should be trying to build this platform not destroy it.
wishfull thinking, that was never the plan to build this platform...
