I agree with Dave that there is nessisary first step before using a " tax". Liscences would disecentivise but if we have seen anything about the nature of bot farms its the low friction scaling that causes the mass drains, ratings inflation and match quality issues,Liscensing requires upkeep and fidelity were as eliminating the fuel of frictionless scale is more effceint. It comes at a cost to new players but the game is slowly dying so perhaps wroth it risk reward.
I love supporting the DAO, Love better data and Love the lore/spirit and shared sentiment we all feel but I am also feeling the crypto ethos might be challenged with centralized bot gatekeeping with Liscences. I keep thinking about how goverments think about issues and this feel verry much like a fishing liscence here in the states.
