Why is crypto reporting such garbage? It's reports about reports about reports by people that don't know sh*t. Completely derivative, no original thinking, no insights, blind propagation of ignorance. Invariably, original report is debunked, nobody bothers to update. #shitscoop

a) then why cover it? b) twitter, reddit, company contact page? People might be reluctant to take interviews because (from personal experience) reporters are often accusatory, looking for a sensational angle, haven't done homework.

But why not just leave it to the educated journalists? Why does crypto need such a high quantity of coverage that it's acceptable to have zero quality? Bad reporting is news so who is going to cover that?

Yeah, it's a market problem. Major pubs have gone full-on outsource/freelance. There doesn't seem to be high consumer demand for a quality news product so it's devolved in to catching eyeballs for ad revenue. Great talent finds the best market fit/highest paying gig.

There are some trusted sources today but the problem is the mainstream media is what grabs the most eyeballs, and the eyeballs of the lawmakers. There is no sense of responsibility or accountability for the consequences of bad reporting.
