Has Bigger pockets jumped the shark?

This was an amazing resource when i started investing a few years ago. In the past 6 months to a year all I get is spammed by wholesalers.  Has this site gone the way of Facebook and grown a bit too much?  These are "pro" members as well so bigger pockets probably doesn't care because they are making money off of them.  

are there any rules against overt spamming and solicitation on here?  I'm tired of getting bs messages that say "hey I'm a wholesaler in Tampa I got deals". They are always absolute junk...  And the people contacting me are early 20s inexperienced people that haven't really done deals.  They are clearly being hired by someone to essentially cold call/lead generate.  We all gotta do business but it's become over the top lately.  This used to be a site where when you had a bonafide deal you could network with people not grasp at straws.
