This both happens 'immediately after writing' and then possibly very gradually as time passes.
My question is: who would have bothered except the original scribe (or the team), seeing that his/their work was not as clear as hoped?

Someone keen on deciphering it would be a candidate, I've done the same to drawings and script as have others here (just digitally).
Going against this idea would be an example such as (left image) this where the "a" doesn't look any less faded than the remaining outline of "iin", so why was the "a" left? Maybe they looked different when it was done (I don't know). I just think it is clear it was done by someone at some stage so arguments against the idea overall I don't agree with, how far that idea stretches beyond obvious (to me) cases such as this I also don't know, some dark ink amendments/corrections are far more obvious (right image) than others.

I'd be interested in your thoughts as to why someone would do the amendments/corrections to the right image? The top one is bizarre, it is like they thought the "sh" flick needed to be moved maybe? The bottom one is presumably an "i" which would never be found here in normal voynich grammar. I looked at it a while back and noted the 3 similar dots under the text and above the roots, I wondered if it might be an accidental spill but it looks fairly deliberate.
