I was saddened to see this post in one of the threads on the beginners' board.

I thought that the objective of Bitcoin Talk was to help people who are new to Bitcoin, and not to recommend other sites for learning and discussion. Has Bitcoin Talk immersed itself so far into the cesspit of bounty hunting, that people have to make posts like the above? I'm shocked by the number of advice posts on YouTube and Steemit that promote Bitcoin Talk as the venue to earn money by promoting scam coins and ponzi schemes.
