Yes, there is just a massive wave of scam artists and other bad actors that cry freedom to keep their exploitative practices from being criminalized or regulated. We all see it in certain online games, certain social media practices, some NFTs/crypto ICOs, current wave of SPAC/meme stocks, and it goes on. A large portion of them are robbing less sophisticated people. It's a major question of how much protection from their own bad decisions people get (and how equitable that protection is between the rich and the poor). I also think games and gaming communities have gotten much worse in 25 years. I wouldn't want a child I knew to get involved in most gaming communities at all, now.
