What's wild, it's really not hard to see how this hurts advertising and the brand long term. If impersonations won't be enforced, it de-legitimizes the whole site for big legitimate companies with a brand to protect.

Not many companies are going to advertise on the internet equivalent of a mud slinging free for all. The only advertisers left would be grifts

He never did seem to know who or what the checkmarks are for
