When you’ve got rent to pay and mouths to feed, and paychecks dont arrive for another week (or more), sometimes it’s a necessity. And when emergencies arrive (as happens more and more often) people at this financial level generally dont have the “rainy day” fund to lean on.

This is not exclusively a personal issue, it is mainly a systemic one. Sure, many people could do with some better financial literacy and personal responsibility… but that’s nowhere near the epidemic of parasitic opportunists eager to squeeze dry every person they can.

Warning them with peace and love?

So flooding communities with low effort reposted content is what we need?

A user, yes. But having to do it constantly as you continue to re-create accounts on every instance you can find is another matter.

In hindsight, sure, but also in hindsight many things could probably have been done to change the situation such that martial defense wouldn’t have been necessary.

It’s also worth noting that the guy who picked it up was chosen by the previous guys editor (and wife), and was a consultant for at least the first season of the show… and while he offered some pointers, he ultimately thought the showrunners went in a direction he didn’t think was the best.
