For context, Molly is behind https://web3isgoinggreat.com/.

Stories from that site were posted on HN 72 times: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fweb3isgoinggreat.com...

Yea it's a hallmark for yc to post stuff like that daily. The irony about kings of web2 trying to "save" the masses (or convince themselves?) seems lost on everyone.

Don't get me wrong, some (a lot) skepticism is healthy but I'd argue this site is the most one sided site on the internet for this topic.

I think the timeline of financial loss with a running total makes it pretty clear what the site is about (complete with flames).

Someone needs to keep a tally on the DAILY grifts, frauds, and scams in crypto because on the other end of the spectrum you have fraudsters with significant financial incentives to keep bringing in new money however they possibly can.

This site is one sided but relative to the relentless hype beasts of crypto it’s essentially the equivalent of a lone person in a huge crowd saying to themselves: “is anyone else seeing this shit or is it just me?”

I love Molly's work on web3isgoingjustgreat. I like following this slow moving train wreck, but just don't have the time or energy to read all the news reports on these projects. There is a lot of lazy "reporting" on crypto/web3 that seems to be lifted from marketing materials. Good critical analysis is out there but you have to hunt it down.

Molly's succinct write-ups are interesting to read. They are critical of the industry but never unfair. I drop by every few days to catch up. If a topic bears additional investigation I can dig deeper. Molly's work helps me easily sort through an entire class of news that I would probably just ignore. I hope she keeps up the good work.

her "work"?? I simply won't believe this isn't a bot reply by the same one posting the content on this site every day in the first place.

Don't be paranoid. She does great work. Give me a captcha I'll do it right now.

(1+13)2 ?

I am not sure what you mean calling me a bot and implying that Molly does not work. It takes effort to keep up with all this stuff and post those summaries. I hope she keeps it going a couple more years.

Sorry about the delayed reply. I have busy schedule today.
