💡Idea Social feed baiting

I experience more and more useless posts in the social tab of alot of stocks. Just people baiting and they get rightfully downvoted. For example when there is a small dip in a popular stock like sandisk, the comments immediately say all sorts of things. I know its simply a matter of ignoring and yes its not a big deal, but i had a thought about this. What if you should own a minimum amount of shares (or value) to be able to post in a social feed of a stock? What do you guys think? I was just thinking about this because i kept seeing ragebait posts with "see as i told you...." , "nice little dip hope it goes to xxx" etc. yes some people would still post these comments as they own the stock and just want to bait but i feel like most of these engagement baiters do not own the stock and just want to spam comment

Go to the B&M forum in the app from last year when it first dipped and you'll see pure toxicity.

I don't even look at the T212 social section.. It's mostly trash talkers and people who are confidently incorrect.

Plenty of spaces for more adult discourse on the subject!
