I like @hivewatchers and believe that they are bringing a valuable service to HIVE.

My guess is that this @antihivewatchers account was created by someone who wants to spam the HIVE blockchain.

That said, there always needs to be an open debate about groups trying to reduce plagiarism and spam on social media.

Google uses its system to counter spam to shadow-ban opinions it doesn't like.

The open debate is needed and, quite frankly, I find that most open debate ends up improving support for @hivewatchers .

The first post of @antihivewatchers is really quite absurd. He is complaining that the group changed its name from @steemcleaners to @hivewatchers after the hardfork.

Spammers often create multiple accounts with the goal of deceiving people.

The HiveWatchers rebranding happened for a legitimate case of rebranding.

Rebranding is not the problem. The problem is that spammers want to deceive people.

HiveWatchers had to buy a new domain ( https://hivewatchers.com/ ) and they had to engage in other expenses because of the hardfork.

HiveWatchers published duplicate content on two accounts for about five days during the rebranding. This is interesting: Even groups dedicated to preventing copy and paste jobs fell afoul of their own rules.

They stopped posting on @steemcleaners @steemcleaners/posts

The last post indicates they realized they posted on the wrong account and burned the rewards.

Wait a second! HiveWatchers just showed the civil way of acknowledging a mistake. They corrected the mistake. They apologized and gave back the rewards they made from the mistake.

HiveWatchers has the problem that its delegations are still in the @steemcleaners wallet. Their downvotes are still done with the old name. This is a problem that anyone creating a new brand faces.

The people delegating to @steemcleaners need to change to @hivewatchers. Changing a delegation takes five days.

The @antihivewatcher account is foolish because an open debate about HiveWatchers will pretty much always come out in HiveWatchers favor because Spam, identity theft and plagiarism are all real problems that harm online communities.

The few complaints that touch on real issues might help improve HiveWatchers. For example, new users often run afoul of HiveWatchers because they don't understand the negative effects of copying and pasting content.

HIVE could do a better job of educating new users.
