Error correction: cryptocurrency flooding npm with garbage modules

Via: https://blog.phylum.io/the-great-npm-garbage-patch/

The Tea protocol started with good intentions as a way to reward open-source contributions, but is ending up badly by polluting package repositories with (lots of) garbage packages. Most of these packages are harmless, but some are downright mischievous as they pretend to depend on the popular axios module, when in reality they're downloading a completely different thing instead.


So, besides warming up the planet, now Crypto is also blowing up package repositories with trash. Not all hope is lost however: the key to building good systems is consistency and great error correction. So if Tea protocol recognizes the problem and acts upon it promptly, the course can still be reversed into a (possibly) positive direction.
