Nine years deep into trading, I've watched this space transform in ways that cut both directions.

Back in the early days? Finding reliable education was nearly impossible. Information was scarce, gatekept, fragmented across sketchy forums. Most of us learned by grinding through painful trial-and-error, losing real money to figure out what actually worked.

Fast forward to today—and here's the kicker—we're drowning in the opposite problem. Everyone's posting something. Guides, signals, "alpha," hot takes. Problem is, most of it's just recycled noise. AI-generated fluff that sounds plausible but teaches you nothing. Verification? Forget about it. The signal-to-noise ratio is honestly worse than it was nine years ago.

The irony stings. More content doesn't mean better traders. It just means more confusion.

Working on changing that, though.
