High KE is bad. I only downvoted 1 post. 🤷‍♂️

You benefit more from the ecosystem, if you are a part of the ecosystem. Getting likes on posts is an opportunity to stake hive and join that ecosystem.

When someone has a KE as high as you, generally speaking, it's kind of a bummer for the rest of us.
