Analysis platforms are all pondering the same question: how can we truly measure value?

What is the common approach in the industry? Speaking with popularity and attention. But this approach has flaws—high traffic doesn't necessarily mean greater practical usefulness.

Some platforms have come up with a different logic: simply measure based on actual usage. It sounds simple, but behind it is a completely different incentive mechanism.

**The key is here**

Genuine signals of value come from a specific scenario: a user reads your analysis and then actually makes a trade. Only when the system can identify this complete "analysis → decision → action" chain can it accurately assess the true contribution of value.

In this way, how to calculate the benefits becomes clear:

Benefits = Usage Frequency × Time Decay Factor × Derivative Value

In plain language: the more your analysis is used, the more sustained and effective it is, and the greater the derived value, the higher the benefits. It's not about who shouts the loudest, but about who truly helps people make money or make better decisions. This mechanism is fairer to analysts and platforms alike—reversing the unhealthy trend of solely chasing attention.

Reliable ideas, finally someone has explained it clearly. Chasing hype has long been outdated. --- This formula looks tough, but it's just two words—fulfillment. --- The question is, can you really track the "analysis → trading" line? On-chain data? Or self-reporting? --- Wow, now even retail investors have a say, it's not just about who has more followers. --- The core is to squeeze out the water content; false prosperity has nowhere to hide. --- Sounds good, but implementation is the real key. --- Algorithm fairness? Uh... I don't really trust the platform's rhetoric. --- Thinking about this logic in reverse, those analysts who rely on hype to rise will start to panic.

Someone finally said it: the traffic king is not the same as the money-making king. This logic should have been popularized long ago.

Finally, someone dares to speak out about the false hype of traffic; this should have been addressed long ago.

Finally, some platform understands this point. The era of making money by bragging to gain traffic should be over. --- Can this formula really be implemented? It still seems like it depends on manual review. --- Sounds good, but how can we prove that the trades are based on my analysis? This is hard to define. --- I just want to know how derivative value is calculated; isn't it still subjective? --- Compared to the heat ranking list, this is indeed an improvement, but could there be reverse incentives? For example, deliberately lowering the heat to manipulate the algorithm. --- Alright, finally no more tearing each other apart just for likes. --- Top analysts already make money, and this reform has the least impact on them. The ones hurt are probably mid-tier creators. --- All on-chain data is available, tracking whose analysis has the highest conversion rate is really not difficult. --- Web3 should be like this: everything can be quantified, no black box. Support this kind of transparent mechanism.
