Actually, it's about people sharing information so that we can all make informed choices.
Most of us care about money. Just like most of us care about their health when potentially playing with 200+V.
Strangely, I also care about ethics and supporting companies that deserve it while denying my money to those proven to have engaged in unethical conduct in the past.
I refuse to buy Chinese knock-off boards on principle. The money I save growing my own pot more than compensates for the few lousy dollars I "save" by buying authentic Samsung strips or HLG boards instead of encouraging unscrupulous behaviour.
BTW, I lived in China for 12 years. I can tell you a few things about what goes on in that country. Red brick dust mixed in with chilli powder; dredged sea sand mixed with cement; white rocks in rice bags; melamine mixed with milk formula; international wine bottles re-corked with Chinese wine; Nikes sold out the back door of the official manufacturer with no royalties paid to the parent company. That type of thing. You really have no idea what they're capable off until you live it day-to-day. Even Chinese people have to be careful about what they buy.
Conversely, there are some honest Chinese companies out there, and I have no qualms about engaging their services or buying their products. But sadly, the market is so big, the scammers have no incentive to stop their behaviour. As I said in another post, "a sucker is born every minute", and in a country of 1.5 billion, there is always another unsuspecting customer. Scammers don't rely on repeat business, they rely on a turnover of gullible, naive and trusting people - and there is no shortage of them!
Good luck with your purchase. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters, right?
