I think you can develop this into something cool. However I think the current idea is a bit too similar to eToro and especially close to what Seeking Alpha is.

The UX is also very, very, overwhelming.

Thanks checking it out and the feedback. I would say eToro is more focused on copy trading as opposed to investment ideas/content and letting the user decide on what they are going to invest in. It is a bit similar to SeekingAlpha but we are focused on providing a better user experience and more focused on the community/social aspect. Regarding UX, would love to know if there is anything specific that you find overwhelming? This is important for me to understand and address.
Love the idea, and great effort put in! My initial impression is the same, overwhelming UX. There's a lot of information and there with very little visual hierarchy, it's hard to decide where to look first.

I find https://refactoringui.com/ has some digest-able design stuff for us developers. I'm not affiliated with them, but I've been the same boat with product design.

For me the key was understanding what roles spacing, color, and font-weight play in building a hierarchy.

Edit: spelling.

Thanks for letting me know. It is our first time creating something like this so the feedback and suggestions are super helpful.
