I am not expecting that coingecko, cointelegraph and other big crypto news site be shilling other projects because they shall be impartial and inform people about things.

But maybe I am wrong and they are really shilling some projects receiving some money in compensation.

I am not from Steemit time but since I like to be involved I know the history and it is very difficult to understand why someone talks about it and don't talk about Hive.
