If you want to reward him, feel free to send him crypto or fiat. No one can stop you from doing that, but he won't earn a dime here as long as I have stake.

I know most people have no spine or ethics or even gives a shit about principles. When someone goes around saying Hive is a scam and it is going to $0, there is no reason they should do so while earning rewards there. I could go into many other reasons as well, but this one is more than enough.
