In the information ecosystem of the crypto market, the contradiction between "rapid publishing" and "accuracy" has always been difficult to reconcile. Industry insiders point out that the mission of media organizations should not be to help users "buy the dip and sell the top," but rather to provide verifiable factual foundations and long-term trustworthy content accumulation. Currently, the monetization models based on traffic and the rising influence of top KOLs are eroding the public service nature of traditional media. However, precisely because of this muddiness, voices that are truly credible and adhere to information review thresholds are becoming increasingly scarce — which is also the reason why they are becoming more valuable.

Chasing the bottom or the top has long been played out; it's still about who can settle down and figure things out. --- Basically, who still cares about the truth? Everyone is just competing for traffic. --- Scarcity = valuable, this logic isn't wrong... I'm just worried that no one will buy into it when the time comes. --- The moment media turns into a tool for selling products, the value of information is dead. --- It sounds good, but how many institutions can really stick to it? They're just being forced to compete. --- That's why I trust independent analysis more than big influencers. --- "Reliable content accumulation," sounds like a joke in this market. --- In an era where traffic is king, still expecting public service attributes? Wake up. --- I don't know if it's accurate or not, but it's almost over anyway, right everyone?

That's right, nowadays everyone wants to get rich overnight through traffic, but institutions willing to take the time to produce rigorous content have become a rare commodity. --- Chasing the bottom or the top, in essence, is gambling psychology. Media following the trend is nothing more than due to survival pressure. --- In an era of chaotic information, those who insist on their voices are becoming even more valuable. --- It's difficult. Speed and accuracy are inherently contradictory, a dilemma of fish and bear's paw. --- KOLs are rapidly gaining followers, and the bottom line of traditional media is gradually collapsing. --- Insisting on strict review thresholds has become a rare trait, which is quite ironic.

Honestly, do people still believe those self-media accounts that post 50 updates a day? Wait until you're sure before taking action, don't get carried away. I prefer accounts that update slowly; at least they won't be harvesting your gains every day. Scarcity really is the key, no wonder some established media outlets are more popular. Those who chase hot topics every day always end up crashing; I still trust the fundamentals.

Honestly, this is the current situation. The crypto world is flooded with information. No one cares whether it's accurate or not; as long as they can profit from retail investors, that's enough. Trying to catch the bottom or the top—just listen to it. Those who truly believe are the ones losing money. Scarcity can indeed be monetized, but will media outlets that stick to the threshold survive until next year? In an era where traffic is king, who still cares about public service attributes? Let's leave it at that. Those who are determined can dig up information themselves; no one can rely on others.

Oh my, it's the same old story. When KOLs give trading signals, I just know I'm going to lose money... The truly valuable voices? I'll listen after my nap time is over.

Basically, everyone is competing for traffic, no one wants to slow down and focus on creating quality content. Really, who still believes in KOLs these days? It's all just a scam to harvest users. What’s truly scarce now are voices with integrity—there aren’t many left. Reliable media has become a luxury, quite ironic. Don’t talk about any mission; it’s all about the money.

Well said. Nowadays, everyone is just chasing hot topics to make quick money. Who still cares about the factual basis? Reliable media outlets are indeed scarce, which makes them more valuable—ironic. KOLs pushing products and brainwashing—I’m also exhausted. You still have to dig for information yourself. The information sector is a paradise for muddling through; finding genuine content requires effort. Accuracy is being crushed by traffic, and this is the current surreal reality. So, it's better to trust those who take their time, even if you can't make quick money.

That's right, but the problem is that most people don't care at all, they just want to quickly buy the dip or sell the top for double, who cares about your verification? --- This is why junk information is everywhere, and truly reliable voices become precious, quite ironic. --- In an era where traffic is king, sticking to principles is really difficult. Respect to those media outlets that still take their work seriously. --- There are too many fishy practices, which actually give a competitive advantage to those rigorous institutions. The market will naturally eliminate the weaker ones. --- Instead of complaining about the rotten ecosystem, it's better to learn how to discern information yourself... but that's also too difficult for most people. --- The eternal paradox of fast vs. accurate, ultimately driven by interests. --- Scarcity equals a premium, and those who stick to their principles will eventually see their time come.

In plain terms, everyone is competing for traffic, and those who genuinely focus on creating quality content have become a scarce commodity.
