gollark: It's just not very well-designed in the first place. This is, so far as I can tell, basically the only way to make money, outside of posting a meme and hoping that some foolish person invests in it.
gollark: Unless they totally overhaul the rather flawed new system, there will probably be new problems even after patches, though.
gollark: Just give everyone a billion M¢ free. Problem solved.

gollark: One can only hope they'll actually fix things.
