Lately, I’ve been feeling kind of powerless watching the so-called “stock gods” and the new Web3 “gods.” In the past few years, if everyone wanted to become a so-called KOL, it was all about the track record. But now a lot of these people are manufactured “gods.” Without any performance you can actually go back and review, it’s all just after-the-fact armchair commentary—full-on, stubbornly late takes. On domestic social media platforms (Weibo, and small 🍠), nobody really says anything. But on X, even your underwear can get pulled up and dug into.
