Because our marketing was shit under brian. Why do people keep asking?
Next time email the author instead of posting here.

Brian is gone.
I would say the actual reason is more that we aren't paying anyone new to handle marketing & media.
I've commented on the article but I think it's relevant to question and highlight this issue here too so that it can start to be addressed.
We have Adam who is managing marketing and message and coordinated existing marketing efforts. This will take a few weeks to get up to speed.
We don't have a PR or press person, though. We should come up with some standard pitches for people to be able to reach out on their own.
I don't really see/notice Adam much yet.
Standard pitches are a good idea but I think we definitely need a professional, salaried PR/Media person who builds up & keeps good media relationships within & outside crypto.
Hpenvy was great at making contacts but he's been less inclined as he's not incentivised.
Method/Matt would be good too but as far as I know they're both working for practically free and their delegate income is almost exclusively a budget rather than a salary.
I've outlined who I'd personally vote for here, that kind of mix would make the marketing a lot better imo
