People need to stop posting their holding details

People need to stop posting their holding details. That includes comments that can give a good indication of your wealth like passive income or details about your portfolio growth.I am seeing this more and more of this on many different subs and honestly its equal parts cringe and stupid.If you do this you are setting yourself up as a target and if you have enough wealth out there an unethical person will come out for you and find a way to get that wealth. I am not just talking about a super tech savvy traditional hacker here. Social hacking is on the rise due to how much info we share online. A smart and determined person just needs to find a way down that rabbit hole based on any info you share (even if you don't share your real name here) and they could get a way in.Hell it could be someone in real life that knows (or has found out) your online identity. Or not even them but someone they told.Less directly impacting is that it discourages other people just getting into the space. They see these numbers and could feel they would never be able to participate here. Not very community buildingPost percentages if you really need to, but there is absolutely no reason to post about your earnings or holdings to anyone on reddit.
