Many people are very negative about the Waves project, for one simple reason, the Waves project has a very bad reputation, because on their platform today there are a lot of projects that are scam, it's very sad to say.
I don't see why this should reflect negatively on Waves. Does everyone else think Ethereum is bad because a lot of erc-20 tokens are scams? I know I don't see it that way.
You can't regulate everything and censor people to make sure they're only doing what you approve of. They aren't so obvious anyway, plenty of projects everyone assumed were scams turned out to be legitimate. What does Eth do about this potential PR issue? Just ignore it?
