Without it we would not have 20 million nodes and the team would not have been able to identity issues that come with a bigger scaling network. Imagine running into these problems when we’ve reached 100k members in the Discord.
I think people continue to forget that there are unforeseen things that can happen and we’re dealing with a very small team compared to what they’re trying to accomplish. I strongly believe that the team probably acknowledges that the emission is not ideal for the current state of the network. But I also believe that they simply choose to not spend time thinking if they should change it, spend legal costs figuring out if they’re even allowed to change it etc etc. Just put a little faith in the team and trust that they’re doing the right thing.
