Sorry to bother but I could use some help bridging the gap in my knowledge about the problem that GRT solves.

Look, I never said that the graph is fake or not useful, I am currently in the process of delegating myself.

I talked about two points: the graph subreddit is far from ready to constructively answer or discuss questions.

The subreddit currently is full of people asking "buy or sell?!?!?" due to the recent spike and the (logical) drop today.

I am 100% behind the graph, that's why I got into it early and try to contribute. But this sub is not much of a help as everyone is sending you in circles. You come from their website and try to get questions answerd on reddit, but the community sends you back to their page.

The really useful information can be found on medium, where there is much less marketing talk.

I am I to crypto for a while now, and I don't "invest" for the money, but the technology. The graph is (imo) the biggest thing in bringing decentralization to the web, what I critizie is the marketing speech.

But I assume the devs to be trustworthy, some of them went to ETH, a Swiss university that easily competes with ivy league unis, I trust in their knowledge. And I have friends in my circles that know their professors from uni, or know someone second hand and we all are happy this made it so far, thus I trust in their Credibility.

I am not shit talking "this new coin", I am criticizing this sub. Maybe I am wrong for my critique and this will settle once the subreddit matures, but I think the people interested in the tech should really be louder Than those hunting for money.

Not sure if Google is behind the graph IMHO, imagine the huge spoke in their stock prices if Google announced they also become "the Google of the blockchain". But let's see.
