I read your article. I can't speak for anyone else, but here's my reaction:
It was a fine "newsy" writeup of the donation and surrounding context.
But that's not really what I'm here for.
I'll check out newsy links, but if somebody writes an article, I'm probably not going to read it unless it feels like it is going to be an interesting new take on the matter.
If you had made the headline about the seemingly anti-AI attitude of the nonprofit or the weirdness of donating that much Shiba Inu (I mean, how much can they sell without tanking the market?) I would have been more likely to click on it.
Finally, I was a little confused by the timeline in the piece. When did Vitalik make the donation? It seems like it was maybe back in 2021. If so, what's the new reason for writing about it now?
Keep trying though. Also: there's nothing wrong with posting in cheaper territories. It's a market.
Thank you for the constructive critique and not just dismissing it. I totally get people come here for different reasons and to read different things so that all makes sense to me. I do try to eliminate most of the bias in my writing especially my title as to not turn people off from reading but as you pointed out it also cuts the other way.
As for the funds I just saw that Vitalik just came out a couple of hours ago addressing this situation! For reference, I started writing this last night and finished up this morning before waiting to post it when more people tend to be active. He made the donation 2.5 years ago however given the price at the time, the general societal situation back then, and the nonprofit being so small not a lot of attention was paid to it. Now though because of the power that this tiny nonprofit has people are starting to talk. If you google this for instance the articles were almost all written within the last few hours.

For reference here is a Binance Square article that sums up the situation without going into much detail.
