Yes, those who defend this site have bad intentions
I don't think anyone is promoting this site. Even if some people are hoping that the site will resume as trustworthy as it was before or if they had good memories with this site and they do not want to leave it or say bad words about it, in all these cases, I don't think anyone is doing it for monetary benefits.
They aren't running any promotion campaigns here on bitcointalk, why would anyone be promoting it ? Its just personal point of view of the writers here.
I completely agree with you as the situation is deteriorating day by day with most people complaining about withdrawals. This is a logical reaction given that they have significant amounts at stake however I'm convinced that no one will listen to their concerns and offer any positive response.
The support system is almost non-existent with new owners failing to handle the situation effectively it's possible that they lack sufficient resources or understanding of how the platform works this was once an ideal platform with a good community and reliable sources, but things have taken a turn for the worse.
In my opinion it's best to leave things as they are as there's little chance of any positivity emerging from this situation after the serious mistakes made.
