I mean, I've been making these points on multiple occasions long before I was DT1, but whatever fits your narrative. I also don't actually care whether or not I am on DT. I do care about thousands of newbies who don't know any better seeing "trusted" feedback from scammers and people gaming the system for their own benefit.

As Loyce says, my suggestions would decrease the power of DT1 members, not increase it. Why would you take issue with that?
