Insider Information Account Phenomenon Analysis

Regarding subscription-based paid content, I don't oppose it. Accounts that genuinely provide valuable analysis, exclusive insights, or high-quality entertainment content are worth supporting, and that's reasonable.

Where is the problem? Some accounts are not actually providing value; they rely on "fans mutual following + casual posting" to attract followers. This kind of operation sounds quite jarring—put differently, it's using the subscription feature to play tricks with fake interactions.

This is fundamentally different from genuine content creation. One attracts people through value, the other through promises of "rewards for following me." The Web3 community needs more of the former and fewer of the latter's tricks.

Honestly, I'm already tired of this mutual follow routine. What's the use of having a good follower count?

I've seen this routine many times, it's just a Ponzi scheme disguised as "insider information." True value creation depends on on-chain data; these people rely on mutual follows and mutual likes to manipulate the market, which significantly increases the risk factor. --- People holding onto chips don't need this kind of fake interaction; they are more likely to get cut. My advice? Audit the smart contracts, not the accounts. --- Don't be fooled by "You can get on board just by following me," that's a liquidity trap. The logic of long-term holding requires support from inter-chain data, not emotional appeals. --- This is indeed a problem, but a bigger vulnerability lies in the platform's review mechanism. No constraints at the contract level, relying solely on self-discipline? Wake up. --- The boundary between value investing and pump-and-dump schemes is so blurred. How long will Web3 take to clean up the private keys of these junk accounts?

This tactic is really disgusting, relying on mutual follows and empty talk to scam subscription fees. Do you even have the nerve to call yourself a content creator?

Basically, it's a rebranded Ponzi scheme. Without any value output, it's just trying to harvest profits from new investors.

Charging just for mutual follows and casual posts? Isn't this just cutting leeks? I really can't understand where these people get their confidence from.

Basically, it's just a rebrand to scam new investors. The mutual promotion scheme has long been outdated.
