@cwebber @promovicz @laurenshof I don't feel like things got that bad at all.
I continue to believe that verifying content when it's first read, rather than when it's first received, is a much more performant strategy. It causes a slight hit for the first reader, but it spreads out the stress on the remote server across time much better.
I also think trust metrics are good for networks.
I did promise you a blog post on the topic, though, @cwebber . I'll try to get that done next week!
