It may be a community of hobbyists, but please realize this site is a business. Revenue keeps it going. People sell things, often expensive things. The forum is just an adjunct and anything goes as long as the rules or laws are not broken.
IT’s like watching the movie Titanic. You know the ship is going to sink eventually due to bad decision making but hold out hope perhaps still to some degree that it will make the needed adjustments and sail on.
