The trend of relying on rhetoric to make a living hasn't disappeared; only the main characters have changed. In the past, in the Web3 circle, whoever was the most eloquent was the most popular, but now everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.

Look at how many content creators are tirelessly producing viral articles day and night just to chase that income. The tone may change, but the tactics are still the same. Frankly, it's like returning to the early days of social media—traffic is king, and whoever has the hottest topics can reap the benefits.

The era indeed repeats itself. The incentive mechanisms have changed, but human nature hasn't. It used to be a certain opinion leader setting the pace; now it's a nationwide carnival. Creators are busy riding the wave and chasing trends, while content quality takes a backseat. When will this cycle be broken? Probably when a more attractive target appears.
