True. I hear things like “censorship of the internet? no, thank you”
Seems like people aren’t only angry about the way it went live, but have also shifted the way they see the project as a whole.
This radio silence doesn’t help either. Te team should be on the forums communicating, answering questions, just being transparent and normal. But the way they are acting makes it seem like they either are doing something shady or just don’t care about the community.
Look at this from the perspective of the community: They raised over 200 million USD. and now the whole token launch. Now they can’t afford to be passionate enough about the project to spend some hours on the forum talking about it?
To reach success, a company needs more than just a good product nowadays. This new generation is fed-up with companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon. They want companies that listen, talk, help change things. Companies that talk through the forum, not through lawyers and PR teams.
There is no faster way to love the trust of people than hiding behind development walls.
At least the leaders of the project should be on the forum regularly, listening to what people are saying, understanding user’s fears, answering questions and showing passion for the project and a vision that makes followers believe in it.
This is not something you get by hiring some PR trainee and asking him to post news on reddit a few days per month. It has to be done by those that have the passion and the knowledge to have these conversations.
