Last night, I stayed up until 2 a.m. researching materials, and even the instant noodles cooled off... I casually checked out a few channels in the old PFP communities; it’s really lively, but many topics have shifted from “What are we doing” to “How to keep people’s attention today.” Recently, there’s been a flood of social mining and fan token hype, claiming that attention is mining. Just looking at it makes me a bit exhausted, like clocking in at work.

My current judgment on the PFP/membership model is quite simple: long-term value isn’t about how good the avatar looks, but whether there are things people are willing to stay for even without posting, such as offline resources, product dividends, or truly usable permissions. Conversely, if all incentives rely on posting, liking, and recruiting to keep going, then essentially it’s a short-term attention game—once the hype dies down for a week, it’s gone. Attention is definitely valuable, but packaging it as “mining” is also quite a pseudo-proposition—it’s more like rephrasing inflation to make people more willing to compete. Anyway, I’m still focused on unlocking and incentive structures; I don’t want it to end up just a bunch of “tasks” and cheaper attention.
