As someone who lives in a third-world country with a single dad supporting a family of five, this forum significantly contributed me to support myself as a post-graduate student.
I joined this forum last 2017 and I remembered that my primary goal was to
earn. I guess most people share the goal as I did before so I joined campaigns in order to at least support myself by buying books and materials so that my dad could allocate the other expenses to my siblings. When I got involved in a ponzi scam (usi-tech), I lost ~$150 and I thought to myself that I had to contribute something which can help prevent others from experiencing my tragedy.
I changed my perspective in this forum and I tried my best to at least help via reporting scammers in the ANN boards.
