Your point makes sense. However, I believe that the emergence of "farming behavior" is fundamentally due to kaito introducing the yaps system and the leaderboard mechanism.

Looking at it from another angle—without yaps and without a leaderboard, no one would label posting behavior as "farming." Users would just be posting, plain and simple. The voices of high-reputation accounts would naturally surface, and signals would spread organically.

So ultimately, it's not that users have become worse, but that the ranking mechanism itself has changed the incentive structure. When reputation can be quantified, ranked, and seen, people's behavioral logic changes accordingly. This phenomenon occurs in any system with a leaderboard—the mechanism design determines the behavior pattern.
