you are mixing things up here, a trustworthy user does not necessary mean a good reviewer, the initial purpose of the trust system was intended for that ONLY > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=211858.msg2221664#msg2221664

it was even named "Marketplace trust" when it was first implemented, just because some people use it for other purposes , it does not mean that it's good for anything else aside from mainly tagging scammers.

not being on DT does not reduce your right of free speech, not even having negative feed back does, in fact a few people with negative feedback post more than 100 other users combined on Meta alone, your theory would have been valid if the trust system limits you from posting or something like that.

aside from that a good DT member is one who spots scammers and abusers, if satoshi himself was to come back and not be active in terms of tagging scammers then he does not deserve to be a DT member, he would probably be the most trusted member but that's a whole different story.

so unless the community members are going to benefit from your position in terms of trading, then there is no reason why one should be on DT list just for their own self satisfaction.

If I had any sMerit left, I would give this post merit.

for obvious reasons you don't.

you are probably lean towards "older members prioritizing theory" because you have been a member since 2014 and due to your untrustworthy actions you are way too far form being neither trusted nor on DT while some people have proven themselves both wise in terms of giving feedback and trading in under a year, you and many other members are perfect examples of why older does not always mean better.
