Why is the IPTV scene such a toxic shit hole?

I know it's probably because there's money to be made.

I just wish there was a good place to discuss IPTV providers that wasn't full of sketchy resellers over promising and under delivering. You'd think they could at least sort out their EPGs as most I have used are like 80% complete at best.

Not asking for provider recommendations, not sure if that's allowed here. Just wondering if y'all know of a place where that shit can be discussed in a neutral and honest environment?

Isn't Lemmy the perfect chance to create a non-toxic community?
- Totally. I just don't have the desire to create it lol.
  Would have to basically ban resellers or flair them or maybe a monthly reseller thread. But open and good faith discussion of the different services would be nice.
  
  I feel like banning all direct links gets you 90% of the way there. No referral codes, if a user wants to find your site, they have to go looking, automated spam is harder, etc.
