I used to advise newcomers to gain traffic and revenue by becoming crypto KOLs, but I have changed this view starting this year. The reality is that ordinary participants in this market simply can't make money—every time they bring in a new person, the other party is basically just getting exploited. This causes significant damage to the brand they are managing.

In the long run, for the KOL ecosystem to sustain itself, it must genuinely help fans make money in order to build a sustainable trust relationship. But the problem is that the quality of this market has declined, and the ecosystem itself is very difficult to generate real profits for new entrants. In such a trash heap, bringing in newcomers only results in them picking up garbage. So rather than overextending the brand for traffic, it's better to wait for the market to recover.

It's a bit late to wake up, but this realization is still worth it. The cost of cutting leeks these past two years has been too high, really. Alright, just wait for the day the market redeems itself. Hey, I'm just wondering, is there really a KOL who won't cut fans at this time? I've seen through it long ago—garbage coins with garbage narratives, they die no matter who they pull in. Hang in there, buddy. Better late than never.

It's too late to realize now; I should have thought this way earlier.

It's about time to wake up; the business of harvesting leeks should have exited the market long ago.

That hits too close to home. These days, getting "scalped" in the crypto world is no longer an isolated phenomenon; it's practically an entire industry chain. Instead of bringing in newcomers to be exploited, it's better to focus on refining yourself and waiting for the right opportunity. This market is truly rotten to the core; honest people have no way out.
