Canceling the platform's direct revenue plan does not freeze community voices; instead, it changes the game rules—from rigid guarantees to soft incentives.

The logic behind this is quite interesting. Previously, creators had a clear goal: optimize content to earn visible rewards. Now? The scenario has flipped. Without guaranteed income, creators start to consider another dimension—the true value of the project and community recognition.

As a result, the motivation for writing also changes. People are no longer just for the data; they genuinely think: Is this project worth paying attention to? Is it worth discussing? Then they hope that the project team can see these voices.

Shifting from economic incentives to ecological alignment may seem to weaken participation enthusiasm, but in reality, it filters out more genuine signals—those who truly believe in the project will persist, while voices driven solely by利益 will gradually fade away.

That's my only concern—once the real money is gone, who would still be willing to take sides? This move is pretty ruthless, but I admit there's some truth to it. Basically, it's just a different trick to harvest the little guys, just under a different name. No more incentives, but the signals are more genuine? Those still hyping are probably the ones holding coins themselves.

This move is really a reverse screening, filtering out all the搬运工 who are just scraping by.

Honestly, this set of logic sounds good, but can it really filter out genuine voices... It feels more like shifting the problem onto the creators. Will everyone still persist if there's no more money? That definitely warrants a question mark. Eco-alignment sounds sophisticated, but it's really just about seeing who truly has strong faith. Suddenly losing the guaranteed minimum actually makes people more calm; I agree with this point. Without incentives, maintaining enthusiasm is unlikely, but it does reveal who the true fans are.

Honestly, without a guaranteed return, I am even more clear-headed and can see who truly believes in this project. That's right, the newcomers should fall behind. I buy into this logic; the quality signals are indeed stronger. No money to be made, only true fans stay—absolutely brilliant.

Really? Cutting off direct income can purify the sound? I don't think so... The true believers have already come in, and those who are leaving now might just be the most influential group. As a result, the echo chamber is getting louder.

Oh wow, now we can see who truly believes in this project and who is just here to harvest profits. --- Exactly, without a guaranteed minimum, it's easier to filter out true fans, but it also depends on the project's attitude. --- Soft incentives sound high-end, but in reality, it's just a test of loyalty... That's a bit harsh. --- I like this logic; finally, not everyone is just riding the hype. --- That's what they say, but how many creators are really willing to do it for free? --- Aligning the ecosystem sounds good, but I'm worried it will end up being just self-congratulation. --- Only when there's no profit do you realize who the true fans are—brilliant. --- The question is, can the project team really see these voices? Or is it just another act of self-deception? --- Shifting from data-driven to value-driven is indeed a change, but it's hard to implement. --- The divestment plan actually makes the community more transparent, which is interesting.
