How to approach supporting a platform that now holds views contrary to your own

[alastantiger]

Would you mind sharing with us this great internet source of information and articles? Are you going to keep it a secret?

This is an instance though and it is not a secret . For example in 2011, the EFF website, decided to not accepting Bitcoin donations. And in two years ago, Wikipedia editors agreed to halt Bitcoin donations citing environmental.  They say that Bitcoin and Ethereum networks consume too much energy.

If many years ago you found a great internet resource that talks about health, history, career, art, travels just basically something that is around your area of interest. You enjoyed reading their articles so so much that you subscribed or donated regularly as a small way of showing appreciation to keep them going. Then you noticed that in recent years they became anti Bitcoin.

I don’t see the connection between the first and second highlighted in the text. If a resource specialized in "health, history, career, art, travels", this doesn't prevent them from being for or against bitcoin. This is the choice of the owners of this resource.

Although they still publish those great articles in your other areas of interest that you like

If you like what they do, then continue to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

but they publishing so many false claims and incorrect information about Bitcoin.

Maybe this happens because this resource doesn't specialize in this topic? That is, they don't have sufficient competence and expertise in this field.

What kind of resource do you have in mind or is this topic written based on your fantasies?

What would you do? Ignore the anti-Bitcoin articles.Keep donating and subscribing as long as they provide valuable content in the other areas of your interest. Stop donating and subscribing to discourage their anti-Bitcoin stance after expressing your concerns to the editors, but they choose not reconsider their approach?

I don't understand what your problem is. If you like their content, consume it ("health, history, career, art, travels"); if you don’t like it, don’t consume it (about bitcoin). Why make a tragedy out of this? If they write lies about bitcoin, then I would have doubts about their other articles (the truthfulness and usefulness of the content). The Internet is full of different resources - find what you like and use it if that resource creates a problem for you due to their position on bitcoin.

In as much as I don't support misinformation, it's important to also note that we can not decide for others what they believe in. The reason you sticked to such site in the first place is not related to bitcoin and it's very obvious you enjoy what you read from the articles published there which is the reason you choose to donate in order to support them.

Perhaps, those articles are very informative and helpful to you. My simple advice would be, ignore the bitcoin articles aspect and continue with what give you what you desire. As for the donation, you can still donate if you wish because the donation was not for the sake of bitcoin in the first place. What matter here is, you already know the truth about bitcoin and you believe in such truth while they also have their reasons to believe otherwise.
