I find this quite disturbing.  Ok, so I'm only a newbie and my posts may not be particularly productive, but I'm a real person who types what comes into my head with no hidden agenda.  I too am here to talk about Bitcoin, and read, and mostly learn.  Crypto is my new obsession.  Yet even in my short time here I have found it hard work filtering through all the pointless and spammy posts, and the trolls!!  I know there are trolls everywhere but sometimes here it feels like I'm not even arguing with a real person!  Trolls and arguments aside, when it feels like you're talking to a robot, there's just no point.  It's a shame because all the fake posts obscure the really good stuff that genuine members come here for.  And without genuine members and their contributions, any forum is worthless.
