"He is trying, and has put out a lot of content"
There might be some negative reviews around their handling of Bankless DAO and they VC fund, but I have never found them to withhold disclosures, so even though I think David is conflicted in his interests, I don't think that is a reason that he can't participate how he wants to. Can always turn him off (which I sometimes do).
Sentiment around David is correlated with $Eth price, because they always discounted $BTC against $ETH and that has been a terrible trade financially for many of their followers 2022-2025.
He famously longed $ETH and shorted $BTC at the top, lore says when he publicly capitulates that position ETHBTC can put in a bottom.
