I agree. To change this, one would have to be bold and willing to accept certain consequences and/or change the flow of the path that they are on. There could also be clever ways to disrupt bad actors, without direct confrontation. Just like how the blockchain space is disrupting just about everything centralized.

Breaking the law is a whole other discussion in itself. Not everything that is legal is right and not everything that is right may be legal.

Oh, and thanks for teaching me that left line thing u use for quotes, very useful 🙃
