Can someone explain to me how blockchain technology is controversial when there is absolutely no crypto or nft stuff involved? Just seems like pointless drama tbh

"Blockchain" is a red flag.

While the technology in itself is not inherently bad, it has such a limited use case in real life, and has been associated with so many scam projects in the crypto sphere, that it's an immediate alarm bell about the seriousness of the project.

I kind of think a "'Personality-driven' influencer esports league" was doomed from the start and the blockchain is a convenient scapegoat.

Anything that's done with blockchain can also be done with traditional means with 1/100th the energy cost and 1/10000th the drama.

It's pure drama, yes. It's like blaming SQL databases for glambing websites.
