Reminds me of some of my last interactions on Facebook;
tl;dr, for some reason the scam known as Onecoin was very popular in Finland (it was ranked #2 in users after China), myself having already dabbled quite a lot with actual blockchain and altcoins saw the red flags instantly and attempted to sway some away from investing in it but to no avail. The group had already become so big that me being the only one speaking against it and alone was not doing much, on top of the ones highest up on the referral tree earning quite a lot of money and gotten some of their friends to do so as well at the cost of others under their referral line they all started attacking me and stuff. Luckily some of my closest friends listened to me and rather than investing in onecoin bought a lot of ETH sub $1 and are now pretty big holders. That day I realized what a shithole that place had become and that I should have listened to Reddit earlier when they recommended I delete facebook, although Reddit is pretty much becoming the same thing lately so probably time to delete that soon as well, though I may wait a bit longer til Hive gets a bit more of an upswing in new users.
Wow! You simply just tried to warn them and share about those red flags but in return got attacked. It seems those top people didn't mind taking advantage of the situation and other people (risk of them losing monies) as long as they stayed on top making their money.
Yep, if you speak up alone within a group it’s most likely you’ll be the one getting attacked. At least your close friends listened to you ;)
Thanks for sharing that Acid. I know some people still love that place, even some who are here now, but I’ve always wanted to share why I left and so now you know. I’ve never had experience with Reddit but too bad if it’s becoming anything like Fakebook.
