The electoral campaign has transitioned from physical spaces to digital platforms, leading to the emergence of a new wave of digital commentators who are quick to criticize. These individuals, often termed as 'opinionologists,' are characterized by their bitter online remarks, believing that their personal frustrations can serve as valid political analysis. However, they contribute little to constructive political discussion, opting instead to disparage every potential candidate or public proposal.

This phenomenon, while not entirely new, has become increasingly aggressive in its nature. Many of these critics thrive on the demolition of others' efforts, showing little to no appreciation for any candidate's merit or valid proposals. Their primary objective appears to be the systematic discrediting of anyone brave enough to pursue public office, effectively creating a toxic environment for political discourse.

The article highlights a troubling aspect of hyperconnectivity in the digital age, where the ease of communication has led to a rampant culture of insult and disrespect. Within this environment, there are varying degrees of criticism; while some critics reveal their identities, many choose to hide behind anonymity, contributing to the overall lack of accountability and civility in political discussions online. The implications of this trend raise concerns over the future of democratic engagement and the health of political dialogue in Ecuador.
