Twitter is crawling with scammers and pump-n-dumpers. It's impossible to use it for investment talk. You spend all your time blocking people, and ticker hashtags are abused by people selling their discord channel or other crap. Also, if you express negative emotion toward a stock, its investors go out of their way to dox you or harass you. I had to set my account to "protected" because of this.
Twitter missed out on a huge opportunity. They should have listened to investors who user their platform.
Interesting insight! Do you use Stocktwits? I see a lot of the same issues you describe with people abusing the cashtag & spamming their discord channels. Working on a new discussion site and I'd like to attract a community of people interested in stock/RE/investment etc.
If you're interested I'd like to connect and learn about your plans for a discussion site. I think there is significant demand for retail investors looking for a quality community to learn and invest with.
