Dude, good job on the research and whistle blowing. I have honestly limited my time browsing posts because of this issue, it's sort of depressing to see and discouraging when some of us put our best out there and all we hear are crickets :)
I'm not going to quit over it, but it is, like I said, discouraging and disheartening to see the wealth of the community often times ending up in the crapper.
Now-a-days I pretty much limit all my browsing to those I follow and I'm really picky about who I follow as well.
But I'm really grateful to you and others who are calling this sort of behavior out and helping make positive changes here. I'm trying to focus on just creating, sharing and some browsing/curating of a few...so I know I and others rely on people doing what you've done here.
Namaste brother.
John
