Some of them due to the fact that in this specific group believing in doom and having short timelines is well regarded and considered a sign of intelligence.

This is a derogatory attribution of epistemically bad motives of self-regard and status to your audience. It reads to me as if you are creating a frame for being able to say afterwards, “well of course it got downvoted, these people are too full of themselves!”
I see, thank you for pointing that out. I will leave it like it is because I am actively maintaining that part of the audience has a position for bad epistemic reasons (not saying everyone) and I am criticizing that explicitly
In any case I won’t say “well of course it got downvoted”. I am having a way more positive response to what I thought
