When you see a crypto news saying that investors are leaving shiba inu and polygon or avalanche for a new project do not always believe, this is a new way to attract the public investors that have no time to do their own research first.
As someone who used to work as a clickbait article writer about 12 years ago, I can tell you that most of the articles you read online are either fake, or lies or at the very least 10x exaggerated so that it would be read.
Nobody reads an article called "a man walks down the road", thats just not worthy but "you won't believe who takes an interesting path!" about an ordinary man walking an ordinary road would be a good article name, would make some click on it, and then you would see its not even a news. So thats how the media works, thats how they make money, I quit that job after college, I just did it because I needed it money, this was even before I knew crypto existed, it was 12-13 years ago.
