@ricko66 Welcome mate, it's really just my thoughts on the original work done by @jerrybanfield to be fair. I wouldn't have even thought to investigate what's going on outside my community. It sure does add perspective though, one that I feel is important for us all to keep in mind.

I love that you are working with a Thai community, this is something I would very much love to assist with where I can. I've already seen the positive impact of sharing Steemit with those in my immediate circle, for Thai people a few dollars here and there goes a very long way. Thank you for helping others see the benefits of the blockchain and how we are using it.

About the "unfair and dirty" behaviours of others I don't know if I fully agree on that. I believe it is surely unattractive to new adopters, however it is their right and free will to do as they please. It is their choice and their SP after all. I feel you are right about the shift in awareness. Others will come to see this behavior does not serve the greater whole and make their own decisions about who to support and who to expose.
