As I have said a couple times there is a breed of miner associated with Monero who is not particularly interested in the Monero Network itself. They are interested in using as many computers as possible to make as many Monero as possible as fast as possible and then to sell the majority of those also as quickly as possible.

Monero has always had a certain percentage of this breed of miner. The only thing different now is there is more incentive for these sweethearts to help "secure our Network".
