> Unfortunately, as with anything like this, the followers and fools soon showed up (reminiscent of $GME) and a good thing somehow suddenly became "a scam".

Haha, isn't this just the thing? It's the same thing as with Kickstarter, Bountysource, numerous Google betas, etc. The risks are just sitting there visible as all heck, and fools will jump in blind and then scream when the scary event happens.

It has been the best argument for paternalism I've ever seen: not to keep people safe from themselves, but to keep fools away from the rest of us so that we can make intelligent risky decisions.

In fact, I've shifted my view of the accredited investor thing. I am so glad a bunch of blind followers can't just do something dumb and then ruin everything for the rest of us.
