I would suggest doing it for some clarification, but I also would suggest not doing it because it's tiring to sit through...

...but if you look at videos from other "flipping" and profit-taking hobby endeavors that are similar...specifically jumping to mind, the sneaker community...some of this stuff becomes more clear.

The sellers are jerks. The buyers are jerks. Everyone is acting like they're being robbed half the time and wasting their time the other half...

Transactions are quick, emotionless, and painless...or quick, mean, and dismissive. Buyers and sellers act like they have limited time to deal with anyone and they act like everyone is trying to dupe them.

Some of it is fake and created for views, but it's led to influencing the culture.

Just like it's always been in the card hobby, some people are only here to flip and make money. Fine...but some of the people in the hobby are adjacent to or coming from more "hostile" parts of the flipping world.
