Great reply! I know even news.ycombinator suffers from the issues the OP is listing. My take is that people participating in a public forum WANT to be read (including me with this post!), so you will find all sort of tangent conversations

From my 10000 feet view, it looks VERY similar to what Celcius and other Crypto scams happened: People put their assets in this place as an "investment". But the fund managers get greedy and start playing all kind of lotteries wi
