such request seems rude

it crosses a boundary for most people.

What the comment is actually doing

The person is:

• Accusing someone of “showing off”

• Demanding access to their main account (which is personal)

• Framing it as “skin in the game,” implying you owe them proof

That’s a mix of social pressure, public shaming, and a request for private information. Even if they didn’t mean harm, it’s intrusive.

Why it crosses a privacy boundary

• Your main account—whether on social media, trading platforms, gaming, or anything else—is personal identity information.

• You never owe strangers access to your private accounts.

• “Skin in the game” is often used as a rhetorical tactic to force disclosure, not a genuine need.
