I feel like BitcoinTalk became some sort of "earning opportunity" over the years and now it's now just a bunch of people who are new to bitcoin and can barely form sentences in english. What happened?
I think that the more Bitcoin gets covered by news posts, social-media, etc.. The more people join the forum and spam bounty campaigns and seem to be spamming posts to earn merit which is something that you wouldn't see in the last years.  Sad

Let me know what you guys think.

You are somewhat right, but not completely.
Indeed, too many are here only for the money. But on the other hand bitcointalk grew as a bigger and more diversified (international) community.
Clearly in the bigger the community is, the more the scammers, the spammers or the illiterate. Or those posting translated text..  Cheesy

Somehow I think that all this both good and bad. But I don't think that you can realistically have one without the other.
So, as said, get used to ignore the noise and you'll be able to easily make proper conversation.
I also recommend you start using the ignore feature. It can do wonders  Wink
