Unpopular Opinion- I really like cleansing Totems
Totems give massive amounts of bloodpoints, free healing and lots of emblem points. Honestly, its free real estate.
I don't understand why Survivors will farm teammates for the 1200 bp from a save, but they can't be bothered to cleanse a totem for 1000 bp. Even hexes aren't a big deal and are hard to defend if you run totem counters like Detective's Hunch or Small Game. Plus, Hexes give a juicy 1500 points.
Idk man. Totems are mostly beneficial to Survivors so idk why people complain so much

Call me totem ted! I'll actively ignore gens to cleanse totems if the games in a good spot.
But there's nothing quite like cleansing 4, then still getting slapped by NOED in end game.

I like to touch and destroy the bones. Sometimes I run the name "Cleanse before friends."
But yes, I do actually like to go around and look for totems in general as one of my main objectives.

I think one reason people like to hook farm but not totem cleanse is because hook farming gives you altruism points, whilst cleansing gives boldness. Obviously you can get boldness from interacting with the killer, which is significantly more fun than holding M1 for 14 seconds.
But hey, Inner Strength procs so it's worth.

I also like to cleanse totems. Most times I see one, I stop to cleanse, unless I need to go for a save really quickly or there is a gen near almost done or there is only 1 gen left, so we need all the time to fix. But most times, it's a simple task that gives a lot of points quickly, so I do it.

Cleansing totems is definitely something I like to do if im passing by one. Its basically bps free for the taking. Whenever I see bone debris I'm like "Damn, I was too late". If there is a hex totem I will search for totems and cleanse every dull along the way. I don't actively search for dull totems, unless I suspect NOED.
However I will go full "Cleanse before friends", like @Gay Myers (Luzi) does when its a hex totem.

I don't think people hook farm for the points. They usually just do it because they feel too committed to stop.
Unless you have IS, while cleansing dull totems is beneficial for yourself, you are hurting your team by not being on an objective. That's probably why it gets a bad rep.

So do I. That's why Inner Strength and Detectives Hunch are in most of my builds. While my team is, hopefully, hammering out gens, I'm doing bones.
