Why are posts that expressing support and wish towards Monero's proliferating adoption getting some downvote-bombings in here? Examples:

https://monero.town/post/4160760 : "let's promote monero"; -10 karma
https://monero.town/post/4041778 : "let's promote monero"; -9 karma

or this one:

https://monero.town/post/4174276

Just started the skepticism thread, and there is an instant -1 downvote on that.

wtf is this? Are we getting brigaded by grudgeful bitfags? Is it the overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers that can't stand the words like "shock-troops" or "the final solution"? What the hell.

Random guy with no affiliation to crypto and only a vague understanding of monero from another instance here, who saw the post on /all.

Most people stumbling over posts like this probably see yet another shady cryptocurrency and aren't interested or even actively dislike it, resulting in downvotes. Calling people "grudgeful bitfags" and "overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers" probably doesn't help all that much either, neither do comments that attribute a general disinterest to a "very successful psyop by the CIA to make crypto look like a scam".
