Really well said. Ty for this. Reputation is being defined real time.

That’s completely true. The badge doesn’t prove who you are, your own content and connections do that even more effectively.
Think of all those Twitter accounts that started to shred their history(woke journalists etc). No different than Arthur Anderson shredding all their documents during Enron days (I’m old). Didn’t go so well for them. You are who u are.
Honesty > deleting history.
I think a time limit should be imposed (probation period) on new accounts before they can purchase or add a NIP05
How would that even work? It would either have to be a protocol change, or individual clients would need to agree to implement this.
Just my thoughts on trying to figure out the spam accounts, build genuine connections.
