I'm not disagreeing with you Silent, not really... but the problem is not "the evil whales". I guess I would accept the idea of "the evil whales" more if I saw no dolphin or minnow delegating to bots and participating of the bid-bot buying too.

This reminds me a bit of how prohibition "worked". If we have a culture that wants it, then we can't effectively ban it, not really, we just create black markets for it.

Delusion Examples.-
"Yes, the solution to people smoking pot is that we make pot illegal and they will stop smoking the devils lettuce for sure"

"Yes, the solution to drunk driving is that we put them in jail if we catch them, and then nobody is ever going to drive drunk ever again"

Hence my approach on changing the culture, because unless the constituency is more educated on the subject, unless they understand balance, they will keep on working against their own self interest, due to a myopic short term mentality.

When you say Freedom Absolute is not good for us, maybe what you mean is the blurry lines (at times) where my freedom ends and someone else's rights start.  Which is to say, in the name of freedom, of self governance, I can't go to your house unannounced and eat everything in your fridge for example. Everyone would agree 100% with that statement, but if I felt compelled, entitled, within my rights to go to your house and eat all your food, the problem is with my mental state, my social ineptness, my failure to recognize the harm I'm causing... and not the fridge, not the food you left in there, and sure enough not the door that was easy to take down.

Hence my focus on educating the "young". the new users that come to the platform. We can't eliminate 100% abuse, because there will always be people that will feel entitled to break into your home and eat out of your fridge, but if enough people see that act as fringe, as the wrong behavior, then we can effectively create a cultural norm, or an equivalent of that in this platform.

Granted my example is ridiculous, but I'm attempting to make my point as clear as I can.

ps.- no food from any fridge has currently been stolen.
