I know exactly what post you're referring to, and I don't think the author had any intention that the post would blow up the way it did.

I totally agree with you @prowebwriter. Everyone has their own problems and most people are here to earn a living honestly. Where there is fraudulent activities on the rampage all over the internet some people find this platform comforting especially the third world country because their government has no business in take care of the citizens only to loot the country dry is their priority.

For all I know the community loved their articles that is why they are upvoted because they believe they earned it. Is that a bad thing?
