$2,000 per month for this drivel is absolutely hilarious. Normally I’m not a big fan of outlandishly overinflated egos peddling nonsense for cash, but the sheer arrogance on display here is actually somehow impressive.

That being said, the subject matter here is so incredibly stupid that I have no option other than to hope that it fails magnificently (along with the ‘games’ it tracks).

This is for execs who need context, not everyone can just open etherscan and download insight straight into the brain. Your comment shows a misunderstanding of the markets for business research snd analysis (yes, including trivially free data sometimes)

It's convenient but too low on insights and synthesis to justify the asking price. Bringing it to half the length would increase its value. For $2k I can get an expert on a Zoom call to explain it in detail, answer my questions, and get more color on the topic.

Agreed. I’d rather pay the $2k to somebody that can address my immediate specific concerns in an interactive way, and I’d certainly not give it to somebody that suggests that I don’t understand an entire market because I think their silly newsletter is overpriced.

> not everyone can just open etherscan and download insight straight into the brain.

So… this is for execs that lack the core competency for being an exec in this space?

or, if you've read the article and seen that the crypto gaming space is worth a lot of money, 2k for a bunch of data and insights is a steal to some.

Yes. It would be a “steal” for somebody that somehow both can’t run etherscan and extrapolate meaningful information but is in a position to make big financial decisions.
