A decent pileup can be fun, especially if folks in your region are getting through—makes you feel like you have a shot sooner or later. I was in one earlier today for Iran on 10m CW. Tough, and with a couple of lids for a while, but it settled down and most who wanted a QSO got through after 15-20 minutes. Those are fun (for varying definitions of the word, perhaps).
But what's happening now with Bouvet is just disgusting, and a big reminder of why FT8 is so popular in DXing. Honestly, anyone who actually enjoys sitting through the never-ending deliberate QRM, and suffering the antics of impotent, lonely, and/or mentally ill ops should probably recalibrate their fun-o-meter.
I hope they're able to maintain a couple of stations for at least a week, and not go crazy with operating every band and mode, at least until the initial surge wears down. Get more uniques in the log and perhaps the crazy factor will dampen down a wee bit.
