I have literally seen both happen so I think it's both.
I do think there is like a weird hangover from back when everything was pumping hard and a lot of people have unreasonable expectations for the future.
To me that dream has slowly started to fade for a lot of people while others are clinging on as hard as possible.
Yeah, I mean, there have been a few cases where people got chased away, but usually that was by bigger accounts and they had their own reasons. I would say nine times out of ten when you see people react like this it's because they had some kind of scheme running and you are disrupting their ability to abuse the reward pool. Of course they will turn it on you and claim you are racist or killing the chain or something, but anyone who bothers to dig under the surface can see the truth. Anyone that tries to argue differently is either abusing the system themselves or lying to themself about it.
I 100% agree with you on the 9 out of 10. That was my personal experience.
May be more like 99 out of 100 though 🤣
