I'll pass on the politics.
To answer question 1- I personally don't go looking for those topics so I'm not aware of a proliferation of such filth to the point of making it relevant.
question 2- I personally got into BLURT the same way I got into hive, because they were PIRATE copies of Steem and my keys worked.
I think things like hiveWatchers is absolutely Criminal... I'm pretty sure the SEC has got it's hands full shaking down other cryptos but the Downvote button wired to a Mass Reward Pool Pull is absolutely GAMED to feed a tiny amount of whales... so it's SCAMMIER than a LUNA token in my FRANK opinion.
Getting away from the Downvote theft was the only FISCALLY responsible thing I did as a business owner... and then I moved on...
TBH, don't worry about it,
The world sucks and should hopefully get nuked soon.
Have yourself a great Holiday and hive ON 😎🥓👍
