Bored Ape Yacht Club Creators DOXXED by Content Creators for Click Bait - Wait. What? Oh. Yeh.
Peter Saddington addresses the recent doxxing of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) creators and questions the motives behind the reveal. He frames the situation as an example of "content creators" masquerading as journalists, prioritizing clickbait over ethical considerations. He draws upon his personal experience of being doxed to illustrate the negative impact such actions can have. Saddington highlights the irony of the situation: tech companies, while emphasizing security and transparency, are involved in an incident that compromises individuals' privacy. He references the Buzzfeed article that exposed Greg Solano and William Arno as the founders behind the pseudonyms Gargamel and Gordon Goner, respectively. Furthermore, he discusses how publicly available business records were used to connect the founders to Yuga Labs. Saddington concludes by expressing his frustration with media outlets prioritizing sensationalism over responsible reporting.
