I am the last one to tell people what to do with their HIVE once it is in their wallet, but if a person who is earning well is selling pretty much everything they get, it means they don't give enough of a fuck about the community to give anything back.
Generally speaking, I totally get your point in the perspective of the betterment of the hive ecosystem. However, contents in hive are made my real people and so are their financial problems. Sometimes, when we're desperate, we think irrationally. But then again, people should not put too much financial reliance on hive.
Are they made by real people though? Have you looked into it? How much is AI these days?
