When i was saying "fighting against the current" i meant to say, if you fight the current you will get tired fast, drawn and die, this is actually an usefull tip when you are in a river, lake or the sea, if a current take you away don't be afraid and take the current, go with the current, once you are not in the current then swim to where you want to go.
When i said "fighting against the current" in the particular case of Bitcointalk i was trying to say, why Bitcointalk needs to spend so much time, effort and money to bring new users when they don't like it here, and i can tell you why, because i am a new user and i see that this forum future is nothing else than a library for old information, the reason why new users don't like Bitcointalk is the annoying spam from Chipmixer is everywhere in this forum, then there is the annoying warning that every single post is a scam like the Onion tread, then everybody is a scammer and they are calling others scammer like in the Namecoin tread, there is also old members making jokes that nobody understand and then something amazing happened, Discord that was used for gaming became popular in Crypto, and the spam is less, there is no scam warning when i join any discord group, and nobody is calling each other a scammer, maybe Bitcointalk can own a discord channel, but i find it pointless because i bet nobody will join.
