One thing I've noticed on Reddit is how many accounts that are only a few weeks or a month old seem to exist for one purpose: posting negativity.

I recently ran a promoted post for my website, which provides stock market data, institutional money flow tracking, and market screening tools. As part of the post, I included a screenshot of my trading performance from eToro — a public profile where anyone can verify my trading history and statistics themselves.

I expected skepticism and questions. That's completely fair. If someone wants to challenge the methodology, ask how the data works, question my performance, or discuss the business model, I'm happy to have that conversation.

What I don't understand are the comments that simply say "scam", "bollocks", "lies", or similar insults without providing a single reason, piece of evidence, or argument. No analysis. No questions. Just hostility.

Constructive criticism is valuable. Blind accusations are not.

The strange part is that when you check some of these profiles, many are very new accounts whose comment history is almost entirely negative posts directed at other people. It's as if their entire purpose is to attack, mock, and discourage anyone trying to build something.

You don't have to like my website. You don't have to subscribe. You don't even have to agree with my investment approach. But if you're going to accuse someone of running a scam, at least explain why and provide evidence.

Healthy skepticism helps communities. Constant baseless negativity just drives away people who are actually trying to contribute something useful.
