Yes, because SomethingAwful has struggled over the decades so much.

    Ok, they have like 200.000 users registered. I know its historically an important site but in terms of userbase that is nothing.

    And do they have a lengthy vetting process for accuracy and authenticity in place as you are asking for?

    Who said this platform would be the biggest?

    You're making a lot of assumptions here, and it's coming off as seal-lioning so I'm going to disengage from you here. Cheers.

    Well, the thing is that only big platforms struggle with the problems of the topic we discuss here. Smaller platforms just do not have the userbase size where it would be viable to try and scam them for money. Which is why this happens on tiktok in the example up here.

    So I just don't agree with your viewpoint and you don't with mine. I take no offense to that and I hope you did not either, that was definitely not my intention.
