Crypto publications - how much is your attention worth?

A colleague shared an email detailing the expenses associated with publishing sponsored articles across various global news outlets. Although the email covered a broad spectrum of industries and websites, I did notice some platforms with a focus on cryptocurrency. This might pique your interest as well:

Cost of publishing an article

The document outlines the costs for publishing sponsored articles, which essentially allows for content that aligns with your stance unless the website opposes the wording. While this list doesn't encompass all possible options, it does shed light on the fact that these websites, like many beyond the industry, require just a few thousand USD to disseminate sponsored content and promote a particular agenda.

The implications of this are particularly intriguing in the crypto sphere, given that FOMO plays a significant role in many people's decision-making processes, and a portion of this sentiment is fueled by the news circulated within the community.

​

The email provides insight into the timeframes for getting an article published, ranging from a few days to up to three weeks.

​

This goes to show the state of journalism and professionalism in the crypto space, which is somewhere near the zero mark. Even the larger websites aren't even close to being trustworthy and are owned by / sponsored by the large players.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Does anybody know what the other publications charge?
