Why haven't publication embraced crypto donations like BAT?
I feel much better about sending tokens ive earned by selling my attention, and then sending those earnings to publications which garner my attention.
Is media just too old to adapt?
Probably because the overwhelming majority of people see crypto as a scam, and the market share for its use is trivial and better facilitated by actual currency. As well, it’s extremely volatile and the flagship coin recently halfed itself. It’s probably one of the worst things a company can accept in exchange for goods or services.
Why mention something you don't understand at all?
What, you mean I read a headline and repeated it in the wrong context? Damnit. I totally should have wasted 20 minutes reading further about a faux currency that I can’t even buy groceries with
Nah, way better to just spout off misinformation about things you won't even take 20 mins to educate yourself about.
Ah, making a mistake is spouting misinformation. I see you love hyperbole! I’ll be sure to tell my high school students when they get quiz question wrong their answers are misinformation because they didn’t study. See, I like hyperbole, too
You didn't "make a mistake", you admitted you have no idea what it meant, chose not to take a mere 20 minutes to understand it, but chose to spout off about it anyways.
This isn't a quiz, you aren't required to post about things you are ignorant of.
