Man, we really bought into that whole marketing narrative, didn't we? It's wild how effective the hype machine is at shaping what we think about projects and tokens. Sometimes you don't realize you're being influenced until you step back and look at the bigger picture.

Marketing narratives really can drown out all the verification efficiency data... I'm just wondering, why not prioritize transparency of the consensus mechanism as the first consideration?

ngl, narrative capture hits different when you're running validators through bear markets. seen too many protocols promise consensus finality they couldn't actually deliver on—marketing deck vs. actual uptime metrics, night and day difference.

Seeing through it, marketing narratives are just tools for harvesting profits.

yeah marketing narratives are just another inefficiency vector tbh... once you decode the signaling patterns it's pretty obvious most projects are optimizing for hype extraction rather than actual protocol dynamics
