We've heard and have reached out to the author to see how we can help the crypto industry make a step forward.
I don't use CMC anymore for the exact reasons in the article. But other competitors need to be good enough as to promote your site more. I think CoinCheckUp will be the perfect replacement for CoinMarketCap, it's clear and more upgrades. I feel that the future of CoinCheckUp is very good and soon you want to also beat CMC.
If I can be of assistance for CCU, please do not hesitate to drop me a PM.
