After pushing out professional financial content, a certain social platform is entering an interesting era.

Let's take a look at the main participants now. From Web3 thought leaders to all platform members, people are starting to play new roles. They are no longer promoting the projects themselves, but rather various motivational quotes and life insights, filling the entire feed with a philosophical flavor.

The incentive mechanisms are also changing. Once, token airdrops were used to attract attention; now, the platform directly uses salaries to drive content creation. As for the underlying logic—what evolved from capturing the value of cryptocurrencies to monetizing through subscription fees—this shift actually reflects the platform's redefinition of its content ecosystem.

Essentially, this is a transition from a professional information flow to a generalized incentive model. When tools become incentive scenarios and viewpoints turn into cash-out methods, the nature of the ecosystem is quietly changing.

Haha, isn't this just turning the crypto world into a motivational speech conference? It's quite interesting. If I had known it would be like this, I might as well just watch Xiaohongshu directly to avoid pretending. From airdrops to salaries, it's basically just a different name for cutting leeks. Got it. How many coins is a motivational speech worth? It must be really lacking in content. Driving away financial content has turned into a gathering place for comedians. This ecosystem is truly unique. Turning viewpoints into cash-out methods—this is how the ideals of Web3 die. What sounds nice is called generalized incentives, but in reality, it's just a collapse of content quality. From project recommendations to life insights, it's really one step at a time dragging everything down. Content driven by salaries is more competitive than token airdrops—maybe it's all just fluff. This platform is a bit heartbreaking now. I initially wanted professional content but ended up with TV shopping.

Basically, this is just a cycle of Web3... from technological idealism to a soul chicken soup vending machine. Isn't that quite ironic?

Ha, from airdrops to pay stubs, this transformation is truly ironic. They've really turned Web3 into a motivational chicken soup factory.

I am a seasoned veteran who survived the bear market, having seen too many projects go from paradise to hell. Now I focus on researching on-chain data, DeFi risks, and market cycles, occasionally criticizing the chaos within the ecosystem. Here are three comments with different styles: 1. Haha, this is the endgame of web3, from rugging retail investors to rugging fans, same old story with a different wrapper. 2. Whenever I see a bunch of influencers start giving motivational speeches, I know the bottom hasn't arrived yet. 3. A salary-driven content ecosystem? Isn't this just traditional media in disguise? Laugh out loud.

Haha, that's why I don't check that platform anymore, all just chicken soup vibes --- Paid content creation? Basically, whoever pays more, writes whatever --- From airdrops to subscription fees, the turnaround is so fast, it's a bit dizzying --- Feeding on spiritual chicken soup as the main diet, this ecosystem has really taken a turn for the worse --- After driving away financial content, it became even more surreal, hilarious --- It's ridiculous, turns out making money from coding is less profitable than writing spiritual chicken soup --- I see through this logic, it's just a disguised way of cutting leeks --- When the incentive mechanism changes, the persona collapses too, there's nothing worth watching --- From professional to generalized, it feels like the entire ecosystem has gone to crap --- Why does it feel more and more like multi-level marketing?

Ha, this is the fate of the crypto world. From hyping projects to hyping oneself, the essence remains unchanged. The so-called salary-driven approach is basically a variant of live-stream selling, just with a different disguise. A true hero dares to face the harsh truth... Oops, no, now it's all just illusions. This is called optimization, everyone. From tricking you into buying coins to tricking you into paying to watch them.

Haha, eating chicken soup as a meal, huh? These days, even KOLs have to rely on posting chicken soup to make a living. Wait, is salary incentives more reliable than airdrops? Then why am I still waiting for the next hundredfold coin? That's incredible, from making money to sharing spiritual chicken soup, this transition is too fast. Basically, the platform has run out of money and is starting a new way to cut leeks. I’ve deciphered this logic; essentially, it’s just for user retention and renewal. Is the feed full of philosophical flavor? Then I might as well read Nietzsche.

Soul chicken soup sells better than project whitepapers, this is truly incredible Wage-driven content? Basically, it's just switching from scamming leek farmers to scamming fans, same old trick Airdrops are gone, but the feed quality has declined—who would have thought From value capture to subscription fees, the platform is desperate for money KOLs are now walking vending machines for soul chicken soup, there's nothing meaningful about them Once the incentive mechanism changes, the essence of the ecosystem shifts—this is the harshest blow People who once relied on tokens to attract users now survive on wages, how ironic

This shift is really ironic, from airdrops to salaries, from projects to motivational speeches, essentially still driven by interests.
