So to be competitive I now have to employ: "..use of online and other non-amateur radio platforms including but not limited to social media, live video streaming, and
internet chat rooms ..." ?

This is not radio anymore. I *DO* like the idea of especially QRP & LP SSB and antenna or location constrained ops to have the ability to self spot...Say, once every 10minutes or something, but this goes waaaaay beyond this and makes it a popularity and social media experiment.
(the RBN already does this automatically for CW and RTTY)

Shame.
