Those are some valid observations about the dApps, none that I can really argue with. To be honest, we've spent a lot of time on RC which was a point in my post for sure, but not really the main point overall, just sort of part and parcel to it.

Good lord I miss those stinc bomb posts. I'm one of like only 8 or 9 people that Ned actually fully blocked (Someone showed me he blocked account list one time back in the day from some block explorer or something back then) and I always regarded that as a badge of honor. I don't think even Aggroed ever fully blocked me completely to this day, and we've tangled WAY harder than the fires I ever held Ned's feet to.

And no, I wouldn't expect to tell all those dApps and communities how to operate, but I'd surely like to sometimes. And knowing me, if there's a venue where I can, I usually would and do. Especially if they are doing slightly slimy things like one in particular I've used this week that was fairly surreptitiously taking an 11% cut of the post rewards via automated beneficiaries.

Again, totally fair as a stipulation of use but its not disclosed on their site, their faq, their docs or in any posts from their authors I could find and I dug around and looked specifically for it after noticing it. I do not like surprises that could look shady simply because it isn't made clear before I used their interface instead of one that isn't taking a premium off the top.
