It is called symbiosis, where both sides profit.

That’s stupid, why share the profits when I can take it all for myself?

Well if you leech too many resources one of two things will happen:

  1. The host will remove you and kill you
  2. The host dies and you along with it

A parasite becoming too greedy will seal its own fate.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
