That's true, but have you also seen the eroding of discussion quality by the low-ranked, bounty-hunting shitposters?  

I agree this place is rife with all sorts of toxic elements, but how do you think this "bullying" evolved on bitcointalk?  It's not because everyone here is just trying to voice their opinions on crypto--it's because idiots are here just to earn a paycheck and have NO interest in discussion or anything else aside from getting paid to spam.
You said it, bro.
