Like all things, the answer is definitely yes, definitely no.
On the NO side - ofc a lot of this is just noise. What matters is solving problems for real people, creating maximal value for people, being creative about getting new people on chain. A lot of the chatter is just there for entertainment, like how NBA on TNT has to put on a show every evening.
On the YES side - it does matter that people care so much about crypto that they would spend hours each day debating and consuming content. Attention is value and crypto has benefited immensely from occupying so much attention that it started to challenge fiat currency in memetic value. The debates around values - privacy, censorship-resistance, resilience, decentralization - are basically what prevent the industry from backsliding into centralized systems.
The debates matter but you don't always have to participate. Build now, yap later.
