That is definitely the intention @art-mess. I came to this place like "whoa, what an amazing opportunity" and there is still that fire but after seeing literal pieces of clipart being passed off as legit I became aggravated. Instead of feeding it by giving it attention I have chosen the path that you suggest here. I don't think we can do away with the stuff in general but we certainly can off set it by putting out insightful, well written and highly organized content. So long as there is enough of that to satisfy the "believers" then the community will remain healthy. If great content producers can climb high enough together then there is the opportunity to start actively resisting poor behavior. But until then tribalism seems to be the most legitimate and effective way of being seen. Obviously, without the use of bots and scam dynamics.
