The rules for the AI project ranking have undergone a major change. The entry threshold for the Create list has suddenly been raised to 100 Yaps, with some tracks even pushing to 200. Many creators who originally sat comfortably on the leaderboard were overnight moved to the new talent zone. This move indeed makes people feel uncomfortable.

In the past few days, I've been a bit anxious, constantly thinking about how to quickly reach the 100 Yaps threshold. From comfortably climbing the ranks to suddenly embarking on a journey of self-cultivation—it's like jumping from normal difficulty straight into hell mode. Looking at the token amounts accumulated by the big players, the pressure is indeed significant. Many should share this feeling; such rule changes have the most direct impact on mid-tier creators.

This is really outrageous, starting at 100? I was still hovering around 50, this is basically pushing people away. Once Rule 1 changes, everything is ruined; all the previous achievements are wasted. 200? In some tracks, it's so competitive that I would just give up. Clearly good rankings are being messed with intentionally, those in the middle really suffer. The Yaps that the big shots have accumulated, when will we ever catch up? I've seen this kind of trick too many times; project teams just want to siphon off some popularity.

Damn, starting at 100? Isn't this just turning the mid-tier into cannon fodder? It feels like the entire ecosystem is left to the big players to decide. This rule change is truly outrageous. It was still on the leaderboard yesterday, and today it’s become a rookie. Who can accept this? I don't even want to watch the 200-level track anymore. This is clearly forcing people to spend money. I'm really tired. I had some hope before, but now it feels like you either spend money or give up. No middle ground. This rule change is ridiculous, it feels like suddenly increasing the difficulty. All the previous efforts wiped out overnight?

Damn, this round is really outrageous. It took so long to get on the list, and then I dropped back to square one overnight. --- Starting at 100? Laughing to death. Are they rushing people or selecting people? --- The mid-tier has indeed been suppressed completely. Big players have long been accumulating, so they’re fine. --- Hell mode is no joke. The difficulty jump is just ridiculous. --- Why do they have to do this? It’s making people uneasy. --- Looking at the big shots’ token stacks, I give up. I really can’t keep up. --- Rules change at will. I’m really a bit tired of projects like this. --- Anxious, again, time to grind hard. --- Is that all? I thought it was some big event. --- The newcomers who got pushed out of the rookie zone are probably furious now. --- 200 is already a huge challenge. What kind of difficulty is this?
