I find it difficult to imagine how returns could be literally negative – it’s not as though people are anti-correlated with the truth – unless you’re taking into account some effect like “Annoying people by making too many coronavirus posts.”
I was thinking more along the lines opportunity cost for the marginal efforts, are they perhaps actually greater than the output produced.
I suppose that can be seen as something other than a form of marginal return so could have been clearer.
