“Wants Upside without Accepting Downside”Moose came across my timeline recently as a marketer who promoted Basketball fun, a rug-in-the-making that only (slightly) course corrected by promising refunds after pressure from X and Ethos community. We are awaiting onchain verification of refunds and I will reply to this if those refunds are verified. As a note, I called it a rug on a review of a previous negative review of another marketer. I still believe it’s a rug, but that is a debate about semantics that distracts from the real issue: what the principle of skin in the game actually means. Moose joined an Ethos spaces and articulated that since this wasn’t a definitive rug, he should not be held at fault. All he did was promote the project. If it fails (whether it’s a rug or not), should his credibility be impacted? Moose does not believe so. I believe it should. Even if there were zero ill-intentions from the project or marketer, true skin in the game isn’t exclusively upside. As a marketer, if you take the upside (income, clout —> which leads to more income), you should also accept the downside (the reflection on your reputation for attaching your name to a project that fails, whether it is a rug or not). You can’t eat your cake and have it too. I hope Moose learns what skin in the game actually means, because his appearance on Ethos spaces demonstrated a complete lack of understanding this principle. Instead, it was a case study in terrible PR in pursuit of self preservation above all. Fin.Publius · 1614· 7mo ago · negative42
