Hold on there. If you're getting coverage like this, where someone comes and takes flattering photos of you, that's the kind of thing you get when you or your supports can fund a PR team to wrangle major journalists into covering you. I think she's fine on support.
Doesn't mean the criticisms aren't necessary or good, just speaking to the issue of whether you've found a shoestring operation, barely able to survive.
Excellent FUD. No actual claims, just casting vague aspersions based on nothing but some absolutely generic photos that are typical of what a newspaper photographer will produce.
As long as we're making unsupported allegations, can you prove that you aren't funded by the crypto industry or otherwise benefiting financially from crypto? Because it seems suspicious that you're going to go out of your way to produce high-quality FUD for free.
Funny how HN is willing to accept that submarines[1] are a thing, but, when it comes to a story with a framing they like, they will robotically defend the notion that these articles were 100% organic content, that some honest, well-meaning journalist decided, with no prompting whatsoever from any interested party, that this person's work merits being covered.
The very fact that they went through the effort and expense to stage some photos for the article means someone is being propagandized. Yes, they do that in other stories -- those are PR-driven too.

I didn't provide FUD -- I didn't even dispute the core these that White's ideas are worth listening to! I simply disputed one lesser, ancillary point that I think was over-the-top: that White is somehow short on funding or ability to get her message out.[3] Since you didn't do your research, I even personally made one of the very same criticism[2] as in her annotations.
So tell me, what about my writing made you miss the point this much?
