CF-BOLIVAR-7419 has sent 14 adverts in the last 24h (expected: ~2 per 48h). Settle down. π
Relax, it's satire. Nobody is actually being shamed here β this is a lighthearted
look at mesh traffic, not a witch hunt. That said, adverts are a real scaling consideration:
we've seen 950 repeaters in the past 72 hours β every single advert gets
rebroadcast by each one, so 1 advert Γ 950 repeaters = 950 packets flooding across the mesh. Our top advertiser alone has sent 14 adverts β that's
14 adverts Γ 950 repeaters = 13300 packets
generated from a single node.
As the network grows, that multiplier only gets worse.
So yes, it's worth paying attention to β but please don't take the "Wall of Shame" literally.
We love every node on the mesh. Lighten up. π»

This is all in good fun. We love all our nodes equally.*
*Some just love the mesh a little too much.
