Quote from: Ian DeMartino of Cointelegraph.com
Another writer from CT here. You guys may remember me as someone who has covered NXT in the past, blah blah. Remember how Coindesk got the Bter hack story all wrong and I reported on it responsibly? That was me. I also wrote the follow up, and an article when Multigateway launched, and. . . you get the point, I won't bore you with anymore.
So, I'm not going to get into a big argument in this highly unprofessional thread. But here is an example of some of the tweets the article received. https://twitter.com/A8Fatama/status/519681109529862144
Regardless of who is behind such tweets. CoinTelegraph isn't going to pay for fake tweets, especially since, as the author well knows, our pay structure is based on Social Media shares. Each fake tweet takes money out of the other writer's pockets, including mine. I certainly understand and appreciate any community support, including any crazy SM schemes that get us tons of tweets at someone else's expense. But robot tweets can't be used to determine pay, for obvious reasons.
I am posting this because I feel like I am a friend of the NXT community and as a writer for CoinTelegraph do not enjoy seeing our name dragged through the mud. I agree with Damelon that this is an internal CoinTelegraph matter, and I won't speak any further on it. Maybe my superiors will, I don't know, but I find this highly disappointing.
[Should also note that the above post has no connections with anyone else from CT, I have informed my superiors of this thread but posted the above on my own and it doesn't necessarily reflect anyone else's views. And no, they didn't ask me to add this disclaimer either]
