There are a lot of issues on this platform right now. Trending is one big issues that needs to be brought up. Some have and will continue to make a point of this problem. From bernie to transisto to the minnows who are struggling. Some will continue to purge off the hard working content providers by posting crap (IE: crypto charts 10 times a day) and getting circle jerked to the top. Some of these issues will work them selves out over time. I think @themarkymark had the right intention in this post. He didn't do it to make money. He wants to draw attention to an issue. Sometimes it takes throwing your self out there to do this.

I know themarkymark reasonably well and I feel that while he is catching a lot of grief for this post, think about the fact that he is drawing attention to the issue. He writes some damn good informational posts that many have benefited from. Understand the source.

Some try to take advantage while others try and do good for the community. This is one attempt at good, whether you feel it was successful or not.
