Currently, a clear trend is that many leading voices in the crypto space are expanding into the broader traffic domain,涉足各类无关的内容赛道. Conversely, those who stick to the crypto verticals and focus on deep cultivation are becoming scarce. Behind this differentiation, it not only reflects the commercial considerations of content creators but also hints that the crypto community may need more specialized and vertical voices to maintain the quality of information and research depth within the ecosystem.

Well... to put it simply, big influencers are all chasing trending topics, and those who truly understand the chain are becoming fewer and fewer. --- Is the scarcity of voices in niche fields a good thing? That's right, traffic brings quick money, who still wants to delve deeply? --- That's why it's becoming harder for me to find reliable analysis, it's all about selling products and riding hot topics. --- Vertical-focused KOLs are indeed valuable, but unfortunately, they've been cut off by traffic. --- The decline in ecological information quality started here, and it's a choice we made ourselves. --- I feel that in the future, only niche communities can save themselves; big influencers have long been playing their own games. --- On the other hand, the fewer professional voices there are, the easier it is to be cut off, which is a bit ironic. --- I can see this wave of division, but it feels like there's no way to reverse it.

All the top influencers are just riding the wave of traffic, but there are actually very few who truly understand the industry. This is outrageous.

Really, these influencers are all starting to become lifestyle bloggers. Who still takes on-chain data seriously anymore? --- Vertical content scarcity is real. Now scrolling through, it's all entertainment-focused stuff. --- It's all about making quick money. No one wants to settle down and do research, no wonder the community information is so chaotic. --- In fact, those small but high-quality professional accounts are thriving. They have less traffic but higher quality. --- This is probably the fundamental reason why the Web3 ecosystem is becoming more superficial—practitioners' mindsets are dispersing first. --- Damn, it's all due to capitalization. Once monetization is possible, no one can keep their original intentions. --- It should be a process where the ecosystem淘汰s high-quality content creators; if you can't keep up, you're out. --- The talent who specialize deeply in this field are the ones who truly understand it. Unfortunately, they've been marginalized. --- Remember those daily on-chain analysis accounts from before? Where have they gone now?

Ha, it's the same logic again, isn't it? Still just for easier profit-taking. When traffic gets big, you have to speak human language, who cares about your technical depth. These days, there aren't many truly rooted voices left; everyone has become an internet celebrity. Are vertical KOLs scarce? Wake up, they've long been overshadowed by the popularity of big V influencers. I just want to know, how do those who stick to vertical content compare their income to those doing product promotion?

Really, now it's all about riding the trend, where have the professional and vertical voices gone --- Wake up everyone, the big shots have all gone live to sell products, who will talk about technology for us --- That's why I don't believe anything I see now, it's all traffic monsters --- Is there a shortage of vertical KOLs? Isn't that a perfect opportunity? Is anyone planning to fill this gap? --- Honestly, I prefer to hear professional analysis rather than someone opening a beauty account again --- Anyway, it's like this now, the ecosystem is getting shallower, and there's no depth left --- Wait, is this saying that what we need are small but refined accounts? --- Oh, does anyone still remember those who truly do research? --- Traffic first, brother, what's there to say about professionalism? --- I agree, what’s missing now are these kinds of people. As long as you're willing to delve deep, you can reap the benefits

Alright, I see this thing... Big V influencers all want to ride the traffic wave to make a living, who really sincerely roots in the crypto circle for research? --- A lack of vertical voices is what it is, anyway retail investors can't tell professionalism, just follow the trend and buy. --- Basically, it's the ecosystem's bad coins driving out good coins, and those who truly understand have no say. --- Isn't this an inevitable part of content industrialization... what a pity. --- Wait, are those KOLs who don't go out into the wild really more professional? Sometimes it feels like they're just making up stories. --- Deeply cultivating verticals? Just listen, wait until the coin price rises and see what they say. --- It's becoming more and more like micro-businesses, with top influencers all being mainstream stars, and the bottom layer full of information garbage. --- Forget it, instead of expecting vertical voices, it's faster to learn how to research yourself.

Really, no one is truly focused on creating in-depth content anymore. Everyone just wants to be a versatile blogger to make quick money. --- The voices in niche fields are becoming fewer and fewer, and the screen is flooded with entertainment-oriented content. --- Actually, there's nothing wrong with big influencers expanding outward, but the ecosystem indeed lacks hardcore researchers. --- In the era where traffic is king, who still wants to deeply cultivate a single track? That's long gone. --- The crypto community now just lacks genuine people; most are just riding the trend. --- This is just the beginning of the ecosystem's decline. The quality of information plummets suddenly.

That's the problem—everyone is focused on traffic monetization, who still wants to delve into technical details? The vertical voices are indeed fewer; now it's all marketing accounts flooding the screens. Honestly, those who truly understand the chain have long been driven away by traffic. This wave has indeed lowered the community standards... professionals are increasingly less appreciated. Big influencers are chasing hot topics; this ecosystem will inevitably face issues sooner or later.
