Of course they don't care. They know they all sink eventually. All. It's the drama inbetween that makes for traffic. And traffic makes for revs. Can't blame 'em. Job security.
Too bad iHub can't shed the OTC stench and get more of their revs from legit investment discussion. They're positioned to pull quite an audience if they catered more to legit investment discussions.
There's that, yes. But I don't think very much thought goes into mod selection some times. And when one can become mod of a flat dead board just by posting 4 or 5 nonsense posts in a row and be accepted via a robo qualifier script apparently. Which is understandable if the board count and posting volume is what they say it is. And a happy pumpy board is more profitable with traffic and easier to maintain than a free stock board with variety and conflicting sentiment.
