Why the heck people think about bitcointalk is an office? I think you are the only one thinking about that and not those newbies you mentioned. Also its not bad to think about that you can earn here since there's so many opportunity here. For sure the possibility to earn is maybe the common why people go here. To many learnings we can learn here but also lets not discriminate people want to earn since there are so many things we can do to earn money especially if we are skilled to work with some technical jobs offered around.
It's the usual reason that people are earning from here that's why they are looking at this forum as like an office. It's kinda weird that people are even looking at this forum as more than how it is made. People using their profiles as like resume, lmao and it leads them to overcomplicating stuffs in here.
... that's not wrong either. Everybody have their own use style of forum. You don't necessarily join conversations about Bitcoin, there are a lot of different parts of forum.
Most newbies are not new users here anyway. Usually it's a new account from an old user or invited by an old user. There's only a few people who join the forum in 2023 by hearing it or crypto-currencies new.
The only thing wrong is there are users continue to break rules in here especially ban evasion. The begging is so real that they think that they had not done the same thing for almost 3 times.
If people would be here to earn money, it might be better off going for data entry or an article in freelancing sites and heck you can even set prices for yourself at that. Imagine that you'll be in millions (or thousands?) of bounty hunters here that might cause lower prices of shitcoins and you think that it is already the ceiling of their earnings.
