Imagine this scenario: when Meta's Quests alliance program begins to contract, what will happen to the entire content ecosystem? YouTube creators, independent media, content publishers—these participants who rely on alliance incentives will face sudden changes. Seemingly minor policy adjustments will actually cause a major upheaval in the platform's content distribution landscape. This is not just a traffic issue, but a reshuffling of the entire creator economy model.

Well, it's another round of cutting leeks. Creators who rely on incentives should wake up. Meta's move is ruthless; superficially withdrawing investments while restructuring the ecosystem. Smart money has already left. The essence of the creator economy is still a zero-sum game—someone eats the meat, someone drinks the broth. After this round of adjustments, top creators remain steady, while mid-tier ones will suffer. Alliance incentives are inherently虚的; once you get used to them as crutches, you'll realize your legs might not be able to walk without them. As long as the flow of capital doesn't change, there's no talk of a reshuffle—it's still the same people cutting leeks.

If I had known it would turn out like this, the big company's cake wouldn't have been so tempting --- Another alliance has collapsed, creators have to take the blame --- Meta's surgical skills are top-notch, they cut just like that, no one can escape --- Wait, is it true? Quests are shutting down? I was still counting on those incentive fees --- Traffic games are always played by big companies, small creators are just the harvested leeks --- Whenever policies change, how many people will lose their jobs? That's the real issue --- The content distribution landscape is about to change, we need to find a way out in advance --- Another power game, it's just so annoying to watch

Ha, it's another scam to harvest the little guys. This time, it's the creators who are being exploited. Meta's move is really clever—giving some initial benefits and then gradually pulling back, a classic "boiling frog" tactic.
