      Ok, they have like 200.000 users registered. I know its historically an important site but in terms of userbase that is nothing.

          Well, the thing is that only big platforms struggle with the problems of the topic we discuss here. Smaller platforms just do not have the userbase size where it would be viable to try and scam them for money. Which is why this happens on tiktok in the example up here.
