A little over dramatic I'd say. Let everyone find their own way as they have let you find yours. Monthly challenges are just a fun game for some. Participate if you want. Otherwise don't. Lucid dreaming serves different purposes for different people. Not everyone will share your vision. And what's so glorified about the post counters? Nothing flashy about them. It's just a piece of information for you to interpret anyway you like.

If you're trying to make a helpful point it's lost in your preachiness.
