Time to reshape how we build ambassador programs in Web3. Current initiatives often lack real incentive alignment and transparent metrics. What if projects focused on genuine community advocates instead of vanity metrics? Better selection criteria, meaningful compensation tied to actual contribution, and clear program governance. The strongest Web3 communities aren't built on volume—they're built on authentic ambassadors who actually believe in the ecosystem. Let's demand better standards.

To be honest, most ambassador programs nowadays are just IQ taxes. A bunch of fake accounts boosting data still have the nerve to call it a community. True believers have long been discouraged by vanity metrics.

The current ambassador programs are really just superficial shells. As long as the traffic numbers look good, they can just coast and do nothing. It needs to be changed.

Well said. Today's ambassador programs are just a pile of vanity metrics, and the fund flows never match on-chain data. I have observed the chip distribution of several projects, and the wallet activity patterns of top ambassadors are no different from retail speculation—mostly manipulative tactics. Truly valuable ecosystem advocates wouldn't do these things for superficial fame; the key issue is that the incentive mechanisms are not genuinely aligned with actual contributions. Once the selection criteria are loosened, it's all just traffic brokers—that's the root of the problem.

Exactly right. The current ambassador program is just a bunch of number games—whoever has more fans gets to be on, but in the end, nothing gets done.

To be honest, most ambassador programs these days are just a joke, gathering a bunch of followers and boosting the hype.

That's so true. Most ambassador programs nowadays are just fake, all they do is inflate the numbers.

The current ambassador program is just a collection of vanity metrics, such as follower count and retweets—meaningless stuff. What truly matters are on-chain contribution and holding period; only these can reflect genuine intent.
