I have not noticed this, operating DX contests since 1972. How frequently
one should ID has been a topic of debate since well before spots, and I
haven't heard anyone say "now that there's internet spots, I don't identify
as often as I used to because they all know who I am anyway."
DX stations waiting too long between IDs seems like it has always been a
contesting frustration.
