Obviously they are paid advertisements. We also stated clearly we were starting a paid advertising campaign on slack and elsewhere quite a few times. Why on earth would multiple outlets write the exact same article? I didn't think anyone would be confused, but our media expert told me the correct term is press release, and media pick up for additional publications. She has worked for major corps, this is industry standard stuff here. Nothing unusual. A press release is information sent and published. This is almost always paid all the time. We used the well know firm Bitcoinprbuzz.
http://bitcoinprbuzz.com So the reality is, look at those 100 other Bitcoin companies, they used the exact same PR company. We used them because they have a solid reputation.
Obviously they are ads made to look as if they were news.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/blockchain-based-dapps-expanse-project-202700826.htmlDid bitcoin promote itself by hiring a pr pump firm to make fake news articles?
Defend whatever you want to defend.
Nothing to defend. Major companies use the same PR services and all the terms are correct. Ethereum, Ripple, they all use PR services, and Bitcoinprbuzz has a great rep, and many great clients. I am actually shocked that someone is trying to FUD well paid quality advertisements. The fact is, this should give EXP more attention, and we are spending some of our own money to advertise Expanse in order to support the community and platform more.
