Just that they're getting an undue amount of hype and return right now at the expense of miners

Miners know that the 20% going to MNs does not impact them. It's only trolls and people who generally just don't know how crypto works that argue otherwise.

A reduction of supply == higher price, so they still get the same money when they cash out to pay their electric bill.

MNs are a building block for so much more than what they're being used for right now. They deserve attention. Mining is not exactly a new, innovative concept. There's really nothing to talk about on that front...

It's the same supply. Just that 20% is now being cashed out by MN holders instead of miners. Same supply == same price. Miners now earn less.

I am an "all in" holder with DRK and not a troll. Yes, I agree MNs are cool, innovative, and deserve attention. I'm willing to go along for now, trust in the devs and see where it heads. My opinion is still the same though and I'm not liking what I'm seeing.

No, it's not the same supply. Miners dump on the market for profit. They're only getting 80% of the block reward now, so they can only dump 80%. Those who wish to buy DRK must buy from a 20% lower supply.

I guess it could seem different depending on how you are (mis)using the word "supply." Purchasable coin supply. If the MNs want to dump their earnings, too, they can, and then, yes, same supply. But I don't know any MN operators who fail to hodl.
