Take a look at how outrageous the KOL economy in the crypto space is now— a single tweet can cost between $10K and $50K USD, and these prices have long since soared beyond the sky.

What about the small creators who are actually producing content? Daily high-quality analysis and consistently insightful viewpoints, yet they can't receive the proper compensation they deserve. The entire system is a bit crooked.

On one side are the top creators with sky-high bids, and on the other side are mid-tier and emerging creators struggling to survive. Such unequal distribution will eventually be challenged by someone trying to break this cycle.

If you are a Web3 content creator on the front lines, regardless of your follower count, feel free to reach out. We can explore new models for creator value distribution—allowing truly quality content to receive fair rewards, rather than being monopolized by big names. Change starts here.

50K for a single post, what kind of crazy price is this? Truly just a tool for cutting leeks. --- Small creators work themselves to death with no one watching, while top influencers casually post something and make tens of thousands of dollars. This is really unbelievable. --- Still have to rely on yourself. Waiting for a big V to save you is worse than settling down to create something real. --- Breaking monopolies sounds easy to say, but the problem is, who has the ability to do it... --- Thinking of those friends who post daily, their quality isn't bad, just lacking traffic and resources. Bad luck, I guess. --- Web3 was originally about breaking centralization, but now it's become even more centralized, haha. --- Does anyone really take content creation seriously, or are they just waiting to cut the next wave of leeks? --- Someone really should stand up and do something about this, but the risk isn't small either. --- Seeing those small creators really makes me feel sad; their quality isn't bad.

Really, these big V influencers dare to ask for 50K for a single tweet, while I work hard all month and don't even come close to that amount.

Honestly, 50K per tweet? These big V influencers are really outrageous. I just want to ask if their content is worth this price. There is definitely a problem with this round. Small creators work tirelessly to post daily for a month and still can't earn as much as a top-tier tweet. I'm tired of this Matthew effect. The ecosystem needs a blood transfusion.

A tweet for $50K? This is a damn robbery, I'm dying of laughter. Big influencers eat the meat while small creators drink the soup. I'm tired of this routine. That's why I prefer to build my own community rather than trust those big shots. Honestly, it's just traffic monopoly, and it will be broken sooner or later. Creative content is valuable, that's true, but the pricing is just outrageous.

Wow, 50K per tweet? These KOLs really see themselves as money printing machines. Small creators work hard silently, but no one notices. Where's the promised Web3 democratization? Turns out it's still the same old Matthew Effect. This inequality should have been shattered long ago.

A single tweet 50K? That's just outrageous. Is this about creating content or just cutting leeks? Small creators post daily and are treated like transparent people, while big V's casually say something and make tens of thousands of dollars... The gap is really ridiculous. But honestly, there are many people wanting to connect with creators this time, how many can truly change the distribution model? That said, someone really needs to stand up and break the deadlock, or small authors will only continue to be workers.

Honestly, this bubble will burst sooner or later. KOLs are疯狂割韭菜, small creators are instead being played around. Who dares to break this situation, really.

To be honest, the KOL quotes this time are indeed ridiculously high. The genuinely talented small creators are actually being overlooked, which is outrageous. Wait a minute, isn't this model just like traditional media... Web3 should do something different.
