So, maybe some of you have noticed that this website/app, heavily 'rewards' people for posting all kinds of generic nonsense (things that have been 'answered' time and time again, a quick search will uncover most answers and, often, the same person posts numerous similar questions for no apparent reason)... while, the few of us who use this site for its intended purpose - to help others or, seek advice ourselves - are basically treated like second class citizens.

For example; there are countless members with ranks/titles of 'master', 'influencer', even fukkin' 'Yoda' ffs and yet, they tend to just post random uninteresting stuff and when it comes to their replies to others', they're (in some cases) offensive and even abusive, therefore, having an MHO of less than 10%, while those of us genuine members with more than 50% MHO, have our questions squished to the bottom of the pile, while the 'spammers'* are featured and promoted ahead of us.

So, I'm just curious to see if I'm alone in this realisation... does anyone think that the ethics behind this website/app need to change? Or are y'all just happy plodding along as-is? Genuine question and, in case it wasn't obvious, genuine responses only, anything snarly, hostile or abusive will be deleted or reported 😉

* I'm well aware that there are several genuine folk who contribute both in replies/'opinions' as well as asking/posting things themselves, however, as a member of this website for several years, I've seen faaar too many people basically abusing an extremely flawed system, hence, my question...
