When you look at the value proposition purely from a capitalistic standpoint, I get why scammers and black hats exist. I just wish they could point their weapons toward the 1% and pull something similar to a Mr. Robot and redistribute their wealth.
Agreed. Unfortunately, as long as scamming is profitable, people will do it. And this has nothing to do with capitalism, scamming happens under any system where it's possible to get an advantage by tricking people.
I really wish we'd have better enforcement here. I don't really know what that should look like (i.e. what mix of oversight vs privacy), but I'm quite annoyed when I see resources put toward harassing regular citizens over stupid things like speeding on an empty road when we could put those resources into tracking and shutting down scammers. I watch some YouTubers who do that, so it's not like it takes resources we don't have...
