#2Am I the only one that thinks it's not a good idea? I mean the signal hasnt traveled very far, but yeah these announcements "hey, we're here" aren't very nice.

Agreed. Horrible idea to broadcast our position like this. But hella exciting

I used to think I was the only one, but now it seems we are two at least. In fact the main reason we haven't discovered advanced civilizations on other planets is likely that they learned not to disclose it - the hard way...

You’re certainly not the only two. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_forest_hypothesis

I think music is the perfect solution.

When you say "it", do you mean this one individual with his one radio transmitter, or do you mean the collective practice of humanity in its billions using radio transmissions?

I personally believe METI practitioners are extremely arrogant ideologues. They've decided that they speak for the entire world, the entire human race, and that they can risk all life on this planet. They think they know better than everyone else, they think they're smart enough, when in reality they truly know nothing about what else is lurking out there in the universe, just like the rest of us.
The only rational, safe, approach is silent observation of the universe for now, at least the best we can, until we have more data, but they give the rest of us the finger and just start blasting signals into the void. It's borderline evil. There's numerous groups, not individuals, who actively plan on blasting out really powerful signals in the near future and they don't care what the rest of us think.
