Fair point and I do trade with it. But news sentiment is at a scale that isn`t an edge that decays. For example Bloomberg sells the same kind of edge to over 350k terminals.
So my experience as a German high school student is kinda weird. I have been programming for 7 years now. It always was a sort of escape to me since it always felt like a sort of escape for me. Since everybody started using AI for everything, it just feels unreal and kinda changed. Not even in a bad way, but it went from a massive community of nerds and enthusiasts (which I loved being a part of) to a mixed community of people relying fully on AI slop to prove themselves to nobody with useless projects. That is my opinion please dont take it personal.
