This isn’t as much of an issue as it is on some other sites. On a couple of sites there are approval systems or another few where you have to be level 1 to post. When these types of sites exist and get popular, people start spreading rumors like “if you like a lot of posts you’ll level up”. I’m not going after any site in specific, this is just my viewpoint from using multiple sites over the past few years.
This is likely the root cause of the issue. I haven’t used discobot in a bit, but from what I remember it doesn’t go into detail about trust levels, nor is it entirely required to complete it at all. Even if it were, nobody will make you pay attention to what it says.
