- edmundsauto 4y agoSome people don't feel safe using their primary accounts due to the vitriolic responses. The community collectively creates this culture, but it's particularly spread with strong toned comments and perspectives that leave little room for discussion.
- ETH_start 4y agoPart of this can be explained by some long-established accounts that used to frequently defend American companies being banned, e.g. CryptoPunk [1], for being too incendiary. In any case, I'd suggest trying to quantify the number of new accounts taking the pro-market-freedom side, and the number taking the pro-government-intervention side, to see if the data bears out your assumptions.
