If we talk about the future, where we want to move away from the decisive influence of the Steemit team and create a strong decentralized community, I don't see anything wrong with such information either. This is just information, it is neither negative nor positive.
Exactly. People are free to use or ignore any information in their own curation decisions. I also don't see a downside, unless it's crowding out some other piece of information that would be more useful.
Your point from the perspective of the curation team members is something that I hadn't even considered.
