I wonder though, if i was only a large investor, and i had no idea about these practices, maybe the numbers game is a misconception for me and i dont know the implications of it or any other of my action here have i done wrong?
Yes
I feel it is every investors(large or small) responsibility to ensure they acquire proper knowledge of the platform they are investing in, as the success of their investment immensely depends on the success of the platform. So as not to damage the whole place because of ignorance.
It is the responsibility of us all to consider what we are getting paid for, and how it happens.
