The moment you lose public sentiment, then you as a founder or project are doing something extremely wrong take Kaito, for example, they had a lot of issues with V1, but they corrected some of their mistakes and have regained part of the public sentiment On the other hand, platforms like Wallchain had public interest, then they rugged with failed promises and bad executions, worse off is the gimmick called wallchain select The problem is not admitting that the public is no longer behind you and thinking everything is okay That in itself is very dangerous cos you could be building something very useful and cool, but the public has already left you behind and moved on
