Many KOL friends have discussed with me that they feel the market's attention is disappearing.
In my view, this is an inevitable product of the AI social media era.
1. InfoFi uses AI to assess content quality. Having AI as a judge will inherently favor content created by AI, unless the platform itself intervenes with some subjective judgment of personal preferences for certain KOLs, which we call 'direct bribery'.
This logic is simple; for example, if a human judges a beauty contest for dogs, the winner will not necessarily be the most beautiful dog. Aesthetics and content are inherently unquantifiable.
Philosophical realm
2. Most human aesthetics and attention have been fragmented.
From reading books to finishing the story of Xiao Hong and Xiao Qiang in two minutes; from in-depth research into innovative projects advancing blockchain to today being collectively referred to as VC coins, I don’t care what you are doing; to researching MEMES to the point where people are too lazy to study them today.
It is undeniable that the proportion of users in our industry is increasingly shifting from investment attributes to impulsive gambling attributes. The reason why the MEME craze coincides with the tail end of a bull market is that this is a super negative-sum game, where ultimately, most people lose their fortunes in exchange for a few months of dopamine-fueled dreams of getting rich.
I find myself following fewer and fewer accounts that I enjoy; there are fewer quality individuals with real skills who are willing to share. After all, sharing is not an obligation for excellent people; those who need it must have a deeper understanding to motivate them to continue creating.
