Let the media do their job. Who cares?
They do a shitty job in general, which is why I don't watch TV or even keep up with the world. I find that I can function just fine without keeping abreast of world news. On the other hand, crypto news does interest me but based on this article and others I've seen from CCN, I don't think that organization is reputable. They obviously have some bias (which I happen to agree with, but it's bias nonetheless), and that's a huge red flag in my eyes.
The info in that article does make sense, though. People aren't going to be as enthusiastic about an asset that's not doing much of anything other than existing at a price that's much lower than what it was at the end of 2017. It shouldn't be surprising that google searches have dropped drastically if the mainstream media isn't reporting on bitcoin as much, but that doesn't worry me. I've been into crypto long enough to know that lulls like this don't last forever, and that bitcoin will eventually start to move.
Based on the latter posts and the data theymos provided it's quite clear now that the media is really biased and I knew this from long time ago which is why I stopped watching the TV just like you did. Anyway whats on the TV is on the internet and besides that the internet gives us multiple results for a specific piece of information while the TV just shows filtered content which is set by the biased people. So it's best for us to stop following such Hippocratic biased people.
The question in my mind as I read this was what does this mean for all of these signature campaigns and bounties that rely on eyeballs? Decreased traffic seems to imply that fewer people are going to be seeing all of this advertising, so I'm wondering if campaigns and bounties are headed toward oblivion.
Well even if it was such a case then we could have also taken this thing as positively because all the shitposters are moving out of Bitcointalk due to the merit system which does mean there are less posters now but it also means that there are better posters now and more highlight will be given to better quality posts. This means that for every campaign the quality of posts will be better meaning that more people will see it. Just my point of view
