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

My pet peeve is the appropriation of concepts into corporate buzz, emptying them of their original, powerful meaning because they have been used so much to mean nothing, now we can't use them or people will think we mean their corporate version.
