2. They didn't "find a way." They were provided with an avenue that some took advantage of and others didn't. Some that took advantage of the avenue fared better than others. THAT is equal opportunity... with some minor caveats... because of the quality of the system and the system providers constantly looking for ways to improve the quality. There are flaws, to be sure, the community and system providers seem to (generally) work together to fix them. When the system becomes exclusionary (on any basis) - looking at you, Twitter - that's when you see problems.
Problems can be fixed, but only if the whole community wants it or at least allows for it. It doesn't diminish competition. In fact, there are other platforms out there growing. The next problem is that some of them are based on being exclusionary of the "other group" while others are trying in earnest to be completely inclusive.
Sorry... rambling... other things on my mind...
Many of the "new millionaires" that you love so much are making bank by hating on you and your ilk. THEY are trying to keep you out of the game.
3. Again, you're talking about cost while I'm talking about quality
I just think ever expecting the 'whole community' to agree on anything is a tough call..........and even in this great melting pot, people often tend to separate themselves while excluding others. I'm sure you've heard the line "Well, you're a white male......so you don't get to even have an opinion."
I don't hate on success. Maybe I don't wanna play in their reindeer games anyway?
3. Forgive me for expecting a bit more quality when the costs are so high. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif)
2. If you don't want to play, that's fine. But you seem determined to keep others from playing as well....
3. Stop corporate graft
