Well... like some others said in here: hivewatchers (or something similar) is kind of necessary. That type of job / position is attractive to certain personality types, though. It is a necessary evil, I'd say.
I quickly checked your wallet, saw some txs going out and assumed 73 rep should translate into more HP without cashing out. Perhaps my trades were better than I estimated, and I have gained a ton of HIVE that way...
ouch haha it has certainly been a grind to get to the 20+K. I rarely ever take HIVE off the platform (if I do, it's usually getting funneled into another HIVE-based project). In BTC investment terms, I may have actually put more BTC in than I can get out right now (made some poor STEEM investments back in the day).
I agree that bad-actors need to be dealt with. I just don't get along well with authoritarians (and that's what HW comes off as).
