The表现形式 of marketing soft articles is evolving, but the essence remains unchanged. These days, I have clearly felt it on the timeline—long-form analytical articles suddenly increased😂

As long as there is profit to be made and enough traffic space, given some time, various derivative marketing methods will emerge one after another. From the earliest institutional reposts, to project submissions, and now to the overwhelming number of in-depth articles—patterns are upgrading, but the problem of information pollution has always existed.

To put it simply, the quality of the timeline is being gradually diluted. This is where the Web3 community needs to stay alert.

They're just re-skins, nothing has changed at the core. --- It feels like the deep articles that have been flooding the screen recently all come from the same mold. --- Here we go again, this time with long-form marketing content. --- The timeline is really getting dirtier, full of these pseudo-deep analyses. --- That's right, where there's traffic, someone wants to take a cut. --- The tricks are upgrading quickly, and so is the IQ tax. --- Why are all these kinds of articles appearing lately? It's killing our aesthetic sense. --- It's nonsense. When did Web3 content become so cheap? --- Having more in-depth articles isn't necessarily a good thing; what about quality? --- Indeed, we should be cautious, but most people can't tell real from fake at all. --- Just want to know who is behind these articles.

I've been tired of it for a long time, and the key is that I can't tell which article is genuine analysis and which one is just promoting products.

It's just more marketing hype; we're experiencing aesthetic fatigue.

Anyway, it's just a change in packaging without changing the content. Just look at those suddenly emerging "in-depth analyses" to know. --- Haha, that's why I am gradually scrolling the timeline less and less. It's all soft articles. --- Exactly, once the money is in place, marketing will improve, tactics will upgrade, and the quality of information will collapse. --- Really, it used to be institutional releases, now it's all project team writers. The tricks are increasing but all have the same flavor. --- Alert? The timeline has been polluted for a long time. It's a bit late to be alert now. --- I directly block those accounts that suddenly start storytelling. It's annoying to watch. --- So in the end, retail investors are the ones hurt. You have to learn to distinguish between true and false information yourself.

Changing the soup without changing the medicine, still the same old tricks dressed up fancy. --- I was wondering why there have been so many long articles lately, turns out it's all the same. --- Dilution of quality is indeed uncomfortable, but who really cares? --- Having more in-depth articles isn't necessarily a bad thing, it depends on who is writing them. --- The timeline has been rotten through, it was about time to switch to a different platform. --- Anyway, I can't tell which ones are sponsored posts and which aren't anymore. --- This is the price of the traffic economy, unavoidable. --- You have to find ways to filter information yourself, or you'll just waste time for nothing. --- It's easy to say stay alert, but how to actually do it? --- Layer after layer of tricks stacked up, beginners simply can't tell what's real and what's fake.

Really, lately my timeline is full of these long-winded articles, you can tell at a glance that someone is manipulating the narrative. It's just annoying to watch, all these polished soft articles, same old story with a different coat. The tactics have indeed upgraded, but it's still the same stuff, so annoying. That's why it's important to learn how to discern, don't get led astray and that's it.
