While this looks and feels fun, I also felt so bad - it's such a huge waste of energy, computing resources and bandwith.
When you fight someone who has more to loose, it usually is a waste of energy. If you want them to change you have to reduce the stakes for them.
Why? It just has to become unprofitable for them to look for something else. They will adjust their stakes accordingly (are you proposing getting them a different source of income? wouldn't someone greedy just accept both?).
