While I have a position on this, for the sake of reality check can we please remember that 98% of content creators here would be writing for likes, (not financial) upvotes or claps if not for this platform.

Like almost everything since Web2.0, the beautiful democratization of online publishing, the bitter side effect is that many show how entitled they feel.

I don’t care that much about it because it reflects more on them than on me but some reality check and self-introspection is not uncalled for.

As for the topic at hand: you can technically not rape the pool. Everyone contributing to one’s rewards makes an explicit choice (that includes delegators).
You can maximize but not rape. The code doesn’t account for sentimental trust and as such rape is impossible.
