I feel a bit complicated when I see some friends feeling disappointed because of changes on certain platforms. On one hand, they used to rely on this channel to supplement their income, and now that route is no longer viable, which I genuinely regret for them.

But on the other hand, I see opportunities. As those quick-fix content gradually fade away, truly high-quality creators will stand out. People are beginning to think about how to monetize more sincerely and how to build an interesting content ecosystem — which is a good thing for the entire industry.

So I feel both regretful and hopeful for the future. This conflicting feeling might be a true reflection of the industry’s adjustment.

Fast food content is dead, the leek-cutting mode is still alive, this is an ecological adjustment --- It's called "accumulating high-quality creators," but honestly, it means the traffic dividend is gone and they need to save themselves, old story --- Why feel sorry for them? They should have thought of their next move long ago. Relying on a platform for support? Just a risk warning --- This term "sincere monetization," why does it sound so familiar... Every time there's a cut, it's said like that --- Opportunity? You mean a chance for re-distribution of chips, no need to hide it --- Truly high-quality creators have indeed stood out, then continue to be cut by capital operators... cycle repeats --- Contradictory feeling = seeing clearly but not wanting to say it outright, a standard phrase in the crypto circle --- Ecological adjustment? I think it's just changing the person getting on the bus, just for reference

Honestly, fast food content dying is no injustice; it was long overdue for regulation. --- Those who rely on information asymmetry to make a living should really be worried. Let the淘汰 happen. --- What's the contradiction? Survival of the fittest. Without genuine skills and knowledge, one should naturally be eliminated. --- Ecological adjustment? Sounds good, but the rural encircling the city strategy has been played out long ago. --- Wait, is this hinting at some platform? I feel like many are quietly changing the rules. --- I somewhat agree, but truly creative creators have always been scarce; they haven't just emerged now. --- So, fundamentally, it still comes down to strength. There's no shortcut.

Fast food content is dead anyway, they're all junk, better to clean it up.

Honestly, fast food content really needs to be cleaned up, or the entire ecosystem would have been rotten long ago. --- It's really tough for those who can't keep up, but that's just the filtering process, there's no way around it. --- Sincere monetization? Sounds ideal, but how many can actually achieve it? --- Platform adjustments are just like that; some fall behind while others take off. It depends on how you respond. --- The sense of contradiction is quite real; I both sympathize and think a reshuffle is necessary. I can understand these feelings. --- It's best if fast food content dies out; only the genuine stuff remains.
