A handful of people have made a name for themselves covering crypto from a critical point of view, largely because they filled a vacuum for that sort of coverage. Crypto press has generally not been self-critical, and mainstream press is mostly confused by it. So there was a latent demand for this sort of coverage, and people like Molly have filled that void.

No journalism is self-critical, that's the whole point of journalism, like Taleb likes to say. It's entertainment for whoever wants their own bubble justified, not information. Of course the pro-crypto journalism is much worse in this regard, but that doesn't change the fact that journalism on both sides is useless for anyone who wants actual information content.

Who in their right mind would want to spend time debunking pro-crypto people and anti-crypto people?

They're both completely nuts. I'd rather debate a flat earther.
