I've always hated majority of the people I met through Ethereum, and it's not because I dislike nor hate humans, it's just because people place an overly optimistic sense of positivity around Ethereum and it's byproducts that ends up becoming toxic and untruthful. Many of the ideologies and buzzwords used in marketing are misnomers, people who get up on stages and talk at events are usually just placeholders filling in space for a dying industry, and it's these larpers that ruin the experience by pushing it towards a pseudo-corporate playground.
Is the answer being completely free and doing whatever with nobody speaking? No... but there is a middle-ground where buzzword marketing is held accountable by people who are at least accredited or skilled in the linguistics of communications regarding new decentralized software.
When the technology becomes nothing but a catalyst for USD, or a catalyst for employment, or a catalyst for status and opportunity. Many of the things that hold real value... get lost.
