There's been criticism aimed at #FootballIndex since its inception, but there's loads of different 'types' of accounts who criticise the platform.

1) Those who are outsiders and don't understand the platform:

These people can be, and some are, very smart. But without understanding how FI actually works, an opinion from anyone, however smart, is fairly worthless.

2) Those who 'talk with their portfolio':

People may be passionate about the product, but often fail to aim criticism in a way that isn't subjective. This is common in all walks of life, we're emotional creatures. They can often fail to see the bigger picture.

3) Those who have skin in the game, but CAN be objective:

Rarer to find, and these opinions don't necessarily carry more weight - but when there's consensus among the people that can think in this way, it's often the best course of action for FI.

4) Those who withdraw their portfolios and slander the product continuously:

Not much needed to be said here, these people are often either a) hugely bitter or b) looking to drive change in a way that betters their ability to re-enter the market

5) It's important when reading tweets, and people's opinions to understand the nuance on the above. Where is their POV coming from? What is driving them to talk about _____ when it comes to FI?

6) In the light of COVID-19, it's very easy to see what accounts have been everpresent in their support for FI, but in a measured way.

Some have completely dissapeared into the wilderness, and they'll probably reappear when normality resumes.
