A smear campaign against the opps?

Anyone noticing how there's a boatload of threads the last 6 months attacking first kucoin, then mexc, now kraken, claiming stuck funds and closed accounts? Why never coinbase--the one that charges us a fortune to trade there? Are these posts even real?

The MOST suspicious thing about it all is that I almost NEVER read those threads, but reddit keeps recommending them in my emails, even though they're very low traffic threads with like 3 or 4 comments each.

Where can I trade and not have to gain 10%+ to break even after all the fees to buy, sell, and transfer my haul back to the bank? I'm an American and it seems like coinbase has a stranglehold on this market and they're basically forcing us to make a huge profit on each trade to break even. To make matters worse, I think they're trying to scare us into only using their exchange. Am I being paranoid? Am I just imagining things?

Have I gotten close to the 500 character limit, yet?

I feel like I've stated enough already, but r/cc insists I must add more characters to get my point across or else it will delete my post. Thanks for bearing with me.
