If you are following accounts of Indian Fintwit, you must have come across 'that person blocked me' or 'why he blocked me?' posts every weekend. Many might have experienced that you get blocked after questioning those kind of people. If you question MTM screenshots, trade, the thought process behind the trade, constant tweeting on one company, etc you will get blocked. If they are constantly tweeting about the company as a long term investment, when the company's price tanks, they go on a blocking spree. It's amazing how they can't handle the criticism.
Number of blocking instances increases after the person starts paid seminars or workshops. Anyone questioning the seminar will get blocked. It's simple, no one wants bad publicity. Imagine yourself as a shop owner, if you see some person foul mouthing about your product/service, what would you do?
Another reason for blocking is it reduces the reach of the troller. The number of people who can read the troll's reply will be the same as your tweet. After blocking the troll can still take a screenshot and post it on his profile, but it would not have the same reach as commenting directly to that person's tweet reply.
Recently, there has been a new trend of blocking the person who likes the tweet of a troll. It's like the 'Minority report' movie, where they block any future trolls before actual trolling takes place.
