The New Year Incentive is not about red envelopes, but about reaffirming the value of creators

The New Year Creator Incentive launched by Gate Plaza, in my opinion, is not just a simple holiday benefit, but a reaffirmation of the "intrinsic value of content creation itself." In the crypto market, liquidity, price, and sentiment always take center stage, but what truly sustains long-term community engagement is stable, continuous, and insightful content output.

For creators, the most practical pain point is not a lack of desire to express, but the long-term mismatch between input and output. Writing analyses, conducting research, reviewing market trends—all are inherently high time-cost activities. The significance of the New Year Incentive lies in its clear reward mechanism, which tells creators: your time, thoughts, and expressions are taken seriously by the platform.

More importantly, this incentive does not only reward "viral hits," but encourages sustained creation, rational discussion, and diverse perspectives. This means the platform does not treat the plaza as a place for emotional venting, but hopes it becomes a content community where viewpoints can be accumulated and consensus formed.

In the long run, this mechanism will filter out creators who are truly willing to engage deeply, and will also help ordinary users gradually develop the habit of "coming to the plaza to see thoughtful content, not just to watch price fluctuations." This is what makes the New Year Incentive most valuable. #Gate广场创作者新春激励
