Not motivated at all to stare at white screen and try to come up with the most epic newsletter so far. Attended over 50 events last couple of months of different sizes and reported on them via new life and collected countless notes on impressions to be released. Need like a 2 months break now. And after, 2+ months to process that.
Bonus fact: Always went as Media to conferences. Never had problems with getting a media pass. However, we live in this weird time where there are people who decide who is media and who is not, blocking access to their events due to a (subconscious?) desire to control the narrative around the event... well, Media Face Control people at Web Summit today rejected my request and said I am not part of a ^recognized^ media outlet and dont have a Press Association card. WTF I did not know that was still a thing, this is EXACTLY why we got ourselves to the narrative we experience now. Please, lets stop this bs and let the decentralized media to step in and really find its way in big events to crash the system within. It is time!!!
PS: those people still dont know what social nfts are, poor, lost souls... they think a metaverse is still gotta be a thing, while not understanding daos and decentralized networks, powered by token economy. If you are still not getting what i am doing and how i am going about it you are out. That is all.
