I've been roasting founders for being terrible to marketers, but they're often victims in all of this too. Here’s how the cycle begins:
🧑💻 Founder: gm binance! Been hard to reach you, but glad we’re finally chatting. We’ve been building a revolutionary protocol for 3 years, launching in 3 months, and backed by a random crypto guy who gave us $10 milly!
🤑 CEX: Cool story bro. Never heard of you. Come back with 100K X followers, 20K active Discord users, and serious trading volume.
🧑💻 Founder: Roger that! Growth = CEX listing—not that community-building nonsense. Time to hire a marketer!
👨💼 Marketer: So we’ll culture, produce quality content, and build deep relationships—
🧑💻 Founder: blah blah blah none of that matters—can you get us *list of CEX vanity metrics* or not?
