Is Hive Becoming a Web2 Trash Bin?

βπ Hive is a Blockchain, Not a Backup Drive: The Case of @epsteinfiles
βIβm writing today about a serious, attention-demanding activity happening on our beloved Hive.
βNow, some might wonder: "What is the worth of a 'small' account like glimpsesytips.dex talking about such big topics?" Before I dive in, I think it's important to mention how this "little" account has helped our ecosystem before. I don't say this to brag, but to show that I care about the health of this chain:
βDEX Bot Hunter: In the past, I helped identify and remove nasty bots in the L2 DEX markets that were hiding behind "Gentleman" personas while draining the system.
βSpam Cleanup: When bot comments were flooding every post under the guise of "token distribution," I provided the suggestions that helped leadership wipe them out.
βProven Results: Even respected members like @konvik-sps have seen my efforts firsthand. You can even check my history here: View on DTools
https://he.dtools.dev/@glimpsytips.dex?symbol=AFIT
βπ The New Threat: @epsteinfiles
βThere is a new account named @epsteinfiles that joined just one day ago. In a single 24-hour window, this account has posted over 1,100 posts.

βThis account is using our already burdened Layer 1 (L1) as a personal backup storage. Our hardworking witnesses and API node providers are already doing their best to handle the load, but genuine Hive-loving authors are facing slow speeds because of this kind of bloat.
βThe Reality Check:
If this user wants to use Hive as a free backup, they should put in the effort to use L2 transactions. Using L1 post operations for mass data storage is like parking a fleet of semi-trucks in a bicycle lane.
ββ‘ Why This Affects YOUR Wallet
βHive transactions are "free," but they cost Resource Credits (RCs). When a specific transaction type is spammed repeatedly, the system-wide cost can jump.
βIβve personally noticed that when the network is loaded with account ticket claims, the RC expenses spike dramatically. @epsteinfiles flooding the chain with 1,100+ posts in a day will inevitably affect the posting expenses for every other Hive user.
βπ€ A Request to the Guardians
βIt is concerning to see this account receiving delegations (500 HP from waivio and 2,000 HP from curatorhulk/thecallmedan) while it clogs the pipes.
βI know @freebornsociety is constantly busy with community moderation, @hivewatchets and @azircon are always willing to protect the ecosystem. I am requesting you guys to look into this. We shouldn't allow Hive L1 to be used as a dumping ground for Web2 archives.

As many people have seen I've been called a spammer on Hive for sharing the truth about my situation
They can call me a spammer and downvote me as much as they like it changes nothing I bring you the truth take a look at everything I've shared and I've still got a whole lot more
So to you seriously stupid people just leave me alone and now you will need to bring my rep back as acidyo decided to take it away with the help of blocktrades delegations π€

You trust web2 with archives?
I've lost many links to doing that.
Driving up rc's is good business sense, imo.

I haven't looked at what that account is posting but if it is what I assume based on the name then the censorship resistant nature of hive seems like the ideal place to put this stuff. Posts are absurdly cheap in terms of RC at the moment.
