Well articulated.
How they entered the platform 10 years ago, is a far cry from what they've delved into.
As a smaller, niche market type of platform, it is important to highlight those vendors that are, and have proven beneficial to the platform, and conversely, disparage those that are detrimental.
Those that know, know better, and do steer clear. Newer owners however may not be aware of all of the unscrupulous practices and repeated problems that occur, bringing the platform down, resulting in poor experiences and discouraging further investment and lasting bonds/ownership.
That said, not everyone is saveable. If newbies choose to use them and fall prey to the marketing/media hype, then so be it.
However, "older" (term used loosely) owners absolutely have a responsibility to educate and inform as needed. There should be no benefit of inclusion in the community as a result.
I correlate it with the banned Sierra Sierra India vendor/followers.
