Some honest thoughts on DegenHub and the state of crypto media. Since launching DegenHub, I've felt my motivation dip, more than I expected. Not because I don't care about the space, but because I realised something pretty confronting: I built it with the intention of contributing something meaningful to the industry… But I was blind to just how brutal and saturated the crypto media landscape has become. The truth is, I don’t think I can compete with the big players out there, certainly not on my own. And even if I could, the game has changed. Long-form content? Depth? Effort? That used to matter. Now, it’s all being cannibalised by short-form dopamine. TikToks. Shorts. Threads. AI-generated fluff designed to trigger the algorithm, not the brain. It’s hard to keep pushing when the content that actually adds value gets buried under rage bait and engagement farming. I’ve watched people I genuinely respect pour their heart into thoughtful pieces, only for it to die in silence because it didn’t provoke controversy or go viral. Meanwhile, bad takes and bait thrive. And if I’m being real, I'm not built for the engagement game. I'm too raw. Too honest. Too unwilling to play pretend just to chase impressions. That doesn’t work in a world where algorithms reward conformity and outrage. So yeah… I’m not sure what I’m going to do with DegenHub right now. What I do know is this: I enjoyed building it more than I enjoy running it. And maybe that’s a sign. Maybe I’m still trying to figure out what role I’m meant to play in all this. I haven’t given up, but I am stepping back to reflect. Because if I’m going to keep building, it has to be for the right reasons, not just to keep up with a machine that no longer reflects what I value. To the few people still creating things that matter, even if no one sees it- I see you. And I get it. We need more of you.
