You're putting up a show for others to read.

So am I. Mine is designed to discourage people from trusting charlatans. I said it from the very beginning, quite honestly.

I don't need to be right, and people don't need to follow my example. They just need to think "wait, why am I reading this thing? why does it feel compelling? am I being tricked?".

Maybe you're not used to skepticism in your life, and you usually get the things you want by putting up a show. That's actually not bad, but I'm not going to apologize for attempting to increase awareness of how charlatans work.
