Talk About Some Industry Insider News
If one day a top-tier KOL in the crypto world stops working, they might tell you:
The essence of a KOL is actually to replace part of the function of news media. For example, in 2017 and 2018, Jinse Finance had the functions of recommendations, news flashes, in-depth articles, and trending articles.
Back then, everyone was reading this type of news, but with the development of the attention economy, the advantage of news media is actually declining; people prefer to directly view the content of KOLs and creators.
For instance, Equation News, which is essentially a KOL, replaces news flashes.
For example, On-Chain Car Head Yuyue, which replaces on-chain recommendations.
For example, Second-Level Big Shot Benson, which replaces leading recommendations.
For example, Kuaidong, which replaces part of the trending news.
For example, I, Sky, write long articles that replace some in-depth articles.
This is the essence of KOLs, the evolution of the attention economy. Any evaluation standard that strays from this is just to make money for themselves, like @KaitoAI and @cookiedotfun, which, to put it bluntly, just helps sell trash coins for trash projects.
And indeed, the concept of $Cookie and $KAITO is the reason for the pump, but one must think clearly about why such coins need to be pumped. Is there a Binance Alpha layout?
