Forcing the setting is an option too, but in this draft we decided against it. Removing the json_metadata usually leads to a lost in support from the referrer (HP delegation for example).

So there is an incentive to keep it for starters.

From my point of view - HIVE should honor freedom over anything else.

Hivemind support would be great, I agree!

For now everyone could also use my public API for referral information.
