My issue was never with the ethics. Couldn't agree more, those who supported centralisation don't deserve to be airdropped tokens. My issue is strategic. I believe Hive would've been better off if they'd have been dropped.
It would've painted Justin as clearly the villain, and it would've given him no grounds to softfork out the STEEM stake of those top witnesses.
Now we're seeing Steemhunt freeze Roelandp's Hunt tokens, and half the Korean community is threatening to leave Splinterlands if it moves to Hive.
I don't know what will be next, but I'm guessing most of it could've been avoided by winning hearts and minds with a more inclusive airdrop.
