Yesterday was my first day using this site and the first post I saw was that Mogul one promising ridiculous sums of money for "playing a game". Right off the bat I knew it was a scam but I had to see what the story was so I start reading through the post and every line just screamed "I'm scamming you!" but ninety percent of the replies I saw were positive, people practically throwing their money at the black hole being presented to them. This did initially turn me off the steemit community, I had to keep asking myself how so many of these people could be so blind.
But, in the end, I found a few replies that were sceptical/critical (seeing how the scammer responded to this criticisms further enforced my belief that it was a scam) and the very first vote I gave was to promote one of these few rational comments, and that is what gave me hope for this community, that is why I made my first post yesterday, and another one today and why I'm leaving this response now.
Thank you.
