Whenever the market downturn happens, the topic shifts to KOLs' income. I can't help but feel envious every time I hear these discussions. Those top KOLs really have it easy—supported by fans, brand invitations, airdrops, collaboration fees... all-in-one service. In contrast, ordinary people can only watch passively when the market drops. I really want to know, what level must one reach to enter this KOL circle that is supported by others? Should I consider sharing my opinions too? Maybe one day I'll catch someone's attention.

Real KOLs have long stopped relying on followers; they rely on their ability to cut leeks. --- When the market is bad, everyone wants to become a KOL. How come few succeed? --- Want to be recognized? First, you need to have some real skills. You can't just bluff your way through. --- This kind of thinking is the most dangerous; you might end up getting cut instead. --- Top-tier KOLs are indeed comfortable, but 99% of people will only become cannon fodder. --- Instead of envy, it's better to learn how to survive first. --- Airdrops and collaboration fees sound great, but how many fake accounts crash behind the scenes? --- Expressing opinions is easy; being responsible is hard. Not everyone can play in this circle. --- I just want to know how many of those "recognized" KOLs are really relying on content. --- Compared to entering the circle, I'm more afraid of becoming their fan.

To be honest, sharing opinions now is late; the influencers have already filled up...

It's a very honest take; this is the brutal reality of Web3.

Honestly, I understand this mentality, but relying on outputting opinions to be "recognized"? Dream on. Top KOLs have built up over ten years; you can't just casually post a couple of tweets.

Relying on expressing opinions to be recognized? Ha, then you must be a chosen one.

Uh... Really? Can you really earn passive income so easily?
