Sorry. But when SP decides bandwidth allocation, which is not an unlimited resorce, and new users have the ability to spam and grind the network to a halt, it presents a major problem for those who have invested far more than the new arrivals looking for a quick payday.
There are many “freemium” apps that limit the use/gameplay of new or non-purchasing users. They do this, not just as a way to earn revenues, but to limit the consumption of resources by those who could and would otherwise play all day for free. It’s not sustainable.
If new users truly love the concept or the platform and feel like it’s beneficial to them to use more of its resources, then perhaps they ought to make some minimal investments (and that isn’t limited to money) in order to earn more of those benefits. If they just want to be a net drain on resources, then why should I care - as an invested user of this platform - if they feel “demoralized?”
I started on this platform with nothing. I didn’t need to spam to get ahead. I never felt like I needed to “hustle” or do anything out of the ordinary in order to “make money.” I did what bloggers typically do and I had no problems earning far more than I needed to interact practically as much as I’ll ever want.
Bandwidth allocation has nothing to do with being an “insider.” And even if it did, there wouldn’t be anything wrong with it. You can always choose to not use this blockchain or its interfaces. But if you do choose to use it because you think you can benefit from it, and you understand the dynamics of bandwidth and its use, then I don’t understand why allocation restrictions are a problem or why there would be opposition to earning/paying minimal amounts of money in order to increase your allotment of network resources.
