devs misuse the term “FUD”

as the title says. when devs get criticism or even genuine concern about their projects whether it be utility or future possible use cases, they usually just call it FUD; so they could avoid answering and just leave the people concerned about the future of their investment/possible investment.

we all know that spreading fear, uncertainty & doubt is a real thing and can influence a lot of people; but generally, when the devs can’t deliver answers to criticism/questions is a red flag. we have seen that happen few times. devs keep calling criticism FUD to keep stalling until they pull the rug

(i would name a few projects but people will get triggered over it)

TL;DR: devs avoid criticism by saying it’s FUD
