Today I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in awhile, and we got to talking about our daily pet peeves in our respective work environments. I told her one of my daily frustrations in crypto-centric spaces is "inflationary text fatigue" (a silly name I just made up on the spot). It applies in other mediums besides text also, but my info intake is heavily text-based, so that's where I notice it most. No, that new project is not a "game changer." No, that blog post is not a "must read." No, that L2 is not "revolutionary." Et cetera. LLM-flavored hyperbole like this gets nothing but eyerolls from anyone with basic critical thinking skills. Extravagant marketing copy isn't doing crypto any favors. Wish crypto spaces would collectively tone it down several notches. /end of boomer rant

It's also in startup spaces, especially the ones looking for funding. When they tell me to look at their documents to give feedback, I roll my eyes as well. I often wonder, isn't the product first for users before the VCs? I tell them to reword the documents but nope, I don't know what I'm saying so I let it be.

It's definitely a problem elsewhere too. Admittedly I'm not holding my breath for any big change. Just letting off a little steam.
