I think there will always be scams and people who are short sighted, having a future vision and understanding of exponential growth is a gift very few have, they will pocket what they can while they can and cut off their nose to spite their face. I don't see this is a bad thing.
I work in digital marketing and most people want short cuts so they fail and customers come to me, sadly they are burned but still eventually it weeds itself out. Sucks that this is the state of affairs but what can we do but offer a good service to people
Very true. It's tough having a legit business and providing something real but we can't break bad just because we are knee deep in scammers.
