So your logic is that Bitcointalk must be in control for a price to increase? What if we are now getting more traditional investors who watch cnbc or fox business for their crypto news or read the wall Street journal. Is this bad for the price in your mind?
I was about to say the same thing until I read your post...
This.
OP, where are the sites losing their influence? Have you ever thought it may be due to stricter regulation and just genuinely not as much interest as compared to the artificially inflated stock boom?
the point is that it can be measured that the original BTC related sites are losing viewers 11% per month if you calculate last 5 months
