A little lesson for all the new CMs of Web3.
Entitlement + disrespect = you getting absolutely fucking nowhere.
If you show up to OGs demanding spots, allocations, access, or favors while having zero respect for the people who have spent YEARS building names, reputations and relationships in this space…
Don’t be shocked when the answer is no.
And if you’re representing a “300 person DAO” and think that automatically entitles you to allocations, but you can’t tell me:
• What the DAO actually does
• When the last DAO vote happened
• What was voted on
• How many holders participated
…then respectfully, what the fuck are we talking about?
A Discord with 300 people is not a DAO.
A CM role in a server does not make you an industry heavyweight.
And having a title next to your name does not magically replace years of relationships, reputation, execution, and documented ROI.
You cannot walk into a space that other people spent years building and assume you’re entitled to the same access they earned.
You especially cannot treat the people who came before you like disposable stepping stones while trying to position yourself as their replacement.
The OGs are watching.
We know who actually delivers.
We know who brings ROI.
We know who has real connections.
We know who has been building.
And more importantly…
we know who the fuck has been wasting everyone’s time.
So to the new CMs who have decided that being loud, entitled, demanding and difficult is somehow a networking strategy:
Shape up or ship the fuck out.
And founders…
DO BETTER.
Your CM is an extension of your brand.
If you can’t afford an experienced professional, hire someone with the right attitude and train them properly.
But stop handing your community, partnerships and reputation to fucking clowns who have no idea how this space works.
Because when your CM burns bridges, acts entitled, disrespects established people and makes every interaction miserable…
your project wears that reputation.
Hire accordingly.
The space is smaller than you think.
And the people you’re disrespecting?
We all talk.
