There's a real problem in this space worth calling out. Certain influencers and self-proclaimed advocates have built fortunes through misleading promotions, all while extracting value from retail participants. When you challenge their narratives, their go-to defense? Label you a paid basher. It's convenient. It's dismissive. And it's becoming the standard playbook. The gap between what some personalities promise and what actually materializes keeps widening. This isn't fud—it's pattern recognition. Communities deserve better than dismissal tactics masquerading as intellectual honesty.
