I find this thread useful in helping fellow travelers to avoid the pitfalls of DCC or deceptive practices (if they still occur). If it loses focus or devolves into grandstanding, it would be a loss for all who reads it. When we travel we should also not lecture the locals how to run their businesses. There's nothing wrong for them to make money, especially when it doesn't affect us or we engage with them voluntarily.
