You are correct but it is not as easy to check a source sometimes you find a rabbit hole of sources where a lot of them are fake and they are quoting other bad quality sources. A lot of the time these fud machines have many websites they own and they will create similar headlines and similar content and link to each other to try and make their fud look like it is real. A lot of people fall for this because most people do not check the sources but when they do they will only check the linking source and will not look for verifiable information or sources which are known to be trustworthy.
Unreliable sources of FUD usually come from sources with a specific motive, such as marketing or propaganda, or sources that do not have sufficient knowledge and do not verify their information before publishing it. Some examples of unreliable FUD sources include media outlets that have a specific agenda, individuals or groups that have a vested interest in influencing market prices, and websites that are unverified or not reputable. To avoid FUD, it is important to do your research and verify information from reliable sources that have accurate and up-to-date information. Also, it is important not to be unduly influenced by unverifiable opinions or information and to stay focused on verified data and facts.
Removing emotion is 1 of the hardest things to do when you are invested in something. This feeling increases the more you have invested. It is hard and I do feel for newbies that fall for these traps because it is not their fault. I wish this forum removed FUD to stop newbies getting hurt because I think it is very unethical and should be removed.
Sometimes emotions are a serious obstacle when making an investment. If emotions are not controlled, the investment that should get a profit, in the end must get a loss.
