When websites don't have sources or anything relevant to talk about, the new wave or boogeyman, is to talk NIL.
No matter how many different sites I can read, across all conferences, it's a topic with no bottom of the barrel.....if someone was making a haircut on every dollar contributed, you'd better believe they're going to say "the sky is falling"......it keeps the train moving and contributions going, with no real way to know, if the contribution is hitting its direct topic.
What's even more fascinating, are people acting as if not supporting one collective, means that no other money is being contributed elsewhere.
A) maybe the one collective hasn't done a good enough job, educating the consumer on the product.
B) maybe the people who have established the initiative, don't have a way of communicating to all types of donors. People aren't going to work with people, who behind the scenes, insult others or belittle them for choosing to contribute elsewhere.
There are multiple ways to contribute beyond the one collective. And it becomes tiresome to read the complaining about "we aren't getting contributions".....well maybe, they haven't earned the trust of others.....maybe they don't have the ear or have not worked well with the primary donors. Convincing people with multiple millions of dollars to turn over money to people they don't know, is highly unlikely to happen....they'll just contribute or work directly with an AD or an assistant AD to feel more comfortable doing so.
