  "textContent": "Before I start I just want to say this is not aimed at anyone, or anything specifically, more an observation of a growing pattern not just on here (although definitely on here), but regards privacy accounts and companies large.\n\nOver the last year or so I have noticed a massive increase in argumentative behaviour and a push of defeatist mindset. The most common things I see over and over are:\n\nIf company A makes money then they have sold out and should be avoided, but if company B doesn’t have a clear business plan that satisfies the community then they should also be avoided just in case.\n\nIf a company who offers a very good product but isn’t “perfect” in every way uses sales verbiage they are dragged through the mud to an almost obsessive level, but excuses are made for their competitors as they are trying to build something better. But at the same time we will also attack a new build of an app so aggressively it’s like we want them to give up trying? No chance to grow and improve it\n\nAnd then there are the defeatists who will either outright say, or continually hint at it all being pointless.\n\nSo I guess my question is, is it us, are we getting frustrated ourselves, is ai helping people be “smart”, or is potentially a little more coordinated than that and we have been infiltrated by trolls and bots in somewhat of an attack on the community as a whole?",
