Spammy behavior can easily be solved by censoring the account at the API level as they already did. The milking can be addressed by downvoting (an inbuilt mechanism). What they're doing is just theft, the witnesses soft fork froze the Steemit inc's balance, not good... Users were excluded from receiving a (at the time of creation) worthless coin who partially mirroed the majority of Steem accounts balance... Again not good! I disagreed with the means employed here but so far no red lines were crossed imo.
But, they are effectively seizing others people assets!
That's theft, hell they could even have done things right if they really wanted to shit on them that badly! They should just create a new chain and fork them out! But hey, there you can spot their lazyness, having to go through the process of reaching the exchanges to explain this mess will make them lose more face... So they doubled down ...
And you're wrong on that their soiling DPoS, their soiling all crypto with this childish behavior
Spot on: Two wrongs don't make a right. Neither does Three!
Yeah, there is much in what you say that I agree with.
Go away steemcunt.
Yeah its not smart. The smartest thing Justin could do is set powerdown time period to a year, then do a fork of Steem that excludes people on his list and redirect steemit.com to his fork.
Steem would slowly die and he wouldn't have the Hive loyalists spamming and dumping on the project.
