Ask 10 users an you'll get 10 different answers I assume.

If we're talking straight up abuse I mostly agree with the parameters hivewatchers operates in. Not fully, the "original content only" directive is going too far imo, although I understand the rationale behind it.

I'm not personally active in any kind of curation any more. Due to the limited availability of free downvotes it's always only been a side venture, but it did get intense at times, especially pre-hive.
