What's even more bothersome is once upon a time, members here would actively call them out on their bullshit, MJ included.
I still do, I just get tired of being a mean old man.
Now it feels like a whole bunch of lazy twats looking to make a quick and easy buck with their lame a$$ cryptos, their trash "courses," their irrelevant "workout plans," etc.
I think your assessment is correct, however this is more of a cultural/societal problem, than a forum problem.
The forum is FREE, so it merely reflects whatever the culture is driving. And right now, the culture is driving easy fixes to hard problems... the crypto boom hasn't helped, YT get rich gurus haven't helped, and the clown business model of coaches teaching you how to be coaches (with ZERO experience or track record) hasn't helped either.
Also, my work is more popular overseas than it is here in the USA, which means, people in lesser developed countries aren't working for a dream, they are working for survival -- this encourages a lot of freelancer, easy-entry bullshit.
That said, there is a high likelihood I will be transforming the forum into a private, paid forum (don't worry, members with substantial track records will have grandfather privileges) with more transparency and barriers for access. This entry barrier will reduce a lot of the noise and low-value posts from drive-bys. Since G00gle has completely marginalized the forum's search engine traffic (and presence) there really is no sense in continuing the status quo.
And if anyone is curious why I'm considering such a move is forthcoming (not sure when however as I'm still dealing with platform software issues) it is because of low-value/landfill posts like these which have become far too frequent.

INVESTING - What future/forex broker allow you to risk only 1-2$ per trade ?
I have been learning and back testing a strategy with paper trading for a while and now i want to test it with real money, risking only 1-2$ per trade until I'm confident enough to put in more capital

More importantly, I find most of my time is spent managing the bullshit around here, rather than actually providing meaningful help to people doing "groundbreaking things," and not spending quality time in the INSIDERS section where there is likely to be less noise and more action.
