They do it to themselves mostly. You should read some discords on new projects like SUI. A bunch of half literate people gaslighting each other. ChatGPT looks lifelike in comparison to some of them. Retail is even worse.

I don't want to look, and I felt the same way before you told me that.
I pretty much am mainstream in this context. What has me interested in this project here is an underlying business model that does not seem to be catching on. These reward pools should be fueled by consumers, not "investors." It's just money to me. A coin is a coin. When I tell someone they could support my work, and watch their money grow instead of throwing it away, their eyes light up. If I say "crypto," their eyes go crossed.
When I tell someone they can support an entire online magazine instead of calling it a tokenized community, yet not throw their money away like they would in the traditional sense, their eyes light up. Say "crypto" and "investing", it's the same concept but they suddenly don't know what to think.
Just want it to be like a car where they hop in and drive, not even thinking about the engine under the hood and all the moving parts. And for sure you don't want to buy a car that comes with a car salesman permanently sitting shotgun constantly offering shit with a mouth that doesn't shut up.
I wouldnt call you mainstream retail in this because people in crypto assume those are teh ones that pump their bags and act as exit liquidity. Crypto people are such great fountains of morality.
I had a big idea that could have worked. Then FTX happened and crypto was no longer a driver of positive advancement in eyes of the mainstream. Instead a scarlet letter.
Sometimes shutting up and letting the driver make the decision is the way to go.
Maybe this self driving car will smash into a money tree.
