update the president of @CoinDesk, @jyarow, just gave me a call and we talked through the issues to reiterate my points: 1. the press should hold this space accountable and criticism can be healthy 2. good media costs money and i'm not out to villainize paid partnerships 3. my MAIN GRIPE is the drumbeat of cynical, dismissive, rage-bait coverage of our industry poisons the information layer for retail readers who can’t tell the difference between paid placement and editorial conviction here's what's going to happen next: 1. Jay is committed to fairness, and I believe him. call balls and strikes. it's fair to report rainy days as long as you're also covering the sunny days. 2. i will personally be an available resource to CoinDesk reporters, in case there's a need for a quote, a deeper level of understanding, or an insider opinion on an NFT story 3. going forward i hope all press takes into consideration that this industry goes through jubilant and brutal cycles and that we cover the good and the bad. otherwise we scare off anyone curious about what we're doing here and the space will struggle to grow. that is all for now. thanks to the community, to jay, and for everyone else who gave their attention to this matter. bored ape yacht club
