I'm leaving X. But before I go, I'd like to say a few things. Punishing customers who try to help you improve your product is a great way to end up with fewer customers and a bad product. The sequence of events: 1) A month ago I discovered a user privacy exploit using Grok 2) I reported it privately via multiple channels and was told repeatedly that I was wrong 3) Some of what I discovered became public weeks later, but the more dangerous exploit was not addressed directly 4) Yesterday a patch was released to solve the problem I originally reported 5) Throughout this process, my account received significant "reach suppression" as diagnosed by Grok himself. I've attempted all the recommended support pathways and troubleshooting for this and nothing has worked. The last resort is an "account reset" which requires leaving for at least a few days. This is particularly frustrating because I had a big announcement planned this week. But if a bullish catalyst drops in the forest, and no one is able to hear it, did it even happen? For the past 4 years, I've tried to walk a fine line between telling too much truth and protecting the best interest of the Gecko community. Every once in a while, I get it wrong, and I got it wrong this time. X is still the most important marketing channel for NFTs, and I have cost us a lot of visibility. The lesson here is simple: if you aren't going to glaze our overlords, it's best not to say anything at all. I'm going to try to hold my tongue from now on. Geckos are very fortunate to have one of the most active discords in crypto. But what if we didn't? What if X was everything for us? Let this be a reminder not to put all your eggs in one basket. Have redundancy. Have a back up plan. I'm going to take advantage of this time to bolster additional channels as well. Whether you hold a Gecko yet or not, you'll want to be in our public Discord channel. Link in bio. GBABM.
