Brilliant comment. I agree. Some people aren't comfortable, I for one, I'm not comfortable with it, but since it's only on peakD then it's all good. On Hive like you've said you've got to give up some of your on-chain privacy, since it's not real life privacy then it doesn't really matter.
On the other hand inasmuch as I don't like that KE metric, it still helps sometimes to know who's in or who isn't in, sometimes it can also help to give support to those who are more dedicated and willing to grow and also support other, but I still think there was no need for it.
