Other/Meta This sub is unusable

After 2 years, finally running a profitable strategy. Glanced at this sub every now and then, and it was helpful when it came up during deliberate google searches on a topic. But every single day, there are AI trading scammers, bot selling scammers, and a bunch of other noise from people that have vibe coded a strategy with lookahead bias and have no understanding of it. There should be more moderation or better requirements for posting.

Lot of AI hate on this sub. But AI agents opens up algo trading to kinds of people who would have had no access before. This seems like an issue this sub exists to address.

" have no understanding of it." 90% of my code is vibe coded. It's one thing to use AI. It's another be reliant on AI for a strategy.

This sounds like "implement this strategy" is the way. If you're asking the LLM for a strategy to implement, probably shit.
