Despite of the fact that this forum hates spamming and trolling, but i still see a lot are doing that. But not to deny that this forum is still educative and creates facts transmission from some knowledgeable and reliable sources. The reason why i still love to stay here in bitcointalk forum. And especially for newbies, this forum will be very helpful as it teaches a lot of things that are crypto related. But still always do your part, DYOR as much as you can.
I really understand your point and the users who use this forum should have the main purpose as a place of education or learning related to bitcoin or cryptocurrency.
But it is not impossible that there are many users who live only for money without wanting to make any contribution to the forum. I've been through this period before but I started looking for other ways out and motivation to stay put and increase my contribution. I'm starting to enjoy it now and it's been getting a lot of support from other contributors.
