The story of Gas Town really illustrates the issue well. At first, everyone was optimistic that it could become the next project like Goat or Ai16z, and the community was highly enthusiastic. But when the project's founder came out and said they would focus on development and construction, and that interactions and operations on X would be affected, the enthusiasm immediately cooled down—reaction was incredibly quick.
This is actually quite ironic. Everyone says they want genuine builders to do the work, but when people actually settle down to build and reduce their social media antics, the community's enthusiasm instantly dissipates. Ultimately, many people are not investing in an AI product at all, but are just hyping a meme. They look forward to excitement, interaction, and daily topics, rather than steady product iteration. This may also be the dilemma faced by many new projects today—the things the community wants and the actual work that needs to be done often have a huge gap.
