Beyond that, the value of DT has been diluted immensely and thus reliance upon it as a proper vector for trust isn't the most brilliant idea.
An important thing to realize here is that it never really was a good idea to rely on DT. It was just a perceived view of a trust. There were many scammers in the DT, so how trusted was it after all? So many reasons why relying on a DT was and remains to be a bad idea.
It's just more obvious now why relying on DT is a bad idea.
I think the % of scammers on DT went up dramatically with this new system, but its still early. Im sure at some point things will work themselves out and this will be a positive for everyone. If not, it definitely encourages people to rely on their own lists, so mission accomplished.
