An interesting phenomenon: In Q3 of last year, there was a flood of criticism in the community against a certain project party—accusing them of being scammers, unreliable, and having an arrogant attitude, with all sorts of accusations flying around.

So what now? Turn around and go into the DM to apologize, the reason being that the community needs whitelist quotas.

This logic is interesting. It seems that sometimes, the best strategy is to work quietly, deliver consistently, and not be influenced by the noise of public opinion. The community's attitude will adjust on its own.

This also reflects a common phenomenon in the Web3 ecosystem: when interests are involved, previous positions often change. For the project party, sticking to their own direction may be more important than responding to public opinion.

Ha, this is web3, everyone is equal in the face of interests. --- The community's move this time is incredible, turning against each other just like that. --- So at the end of the day, it still comes down to having something to show; talking more is futile. --- Once the Allowlist appeared, all the criticism disappeared; this combo move is truly brilliant. --- I have to say the project party really held their ground this time; ignoring public opinion turned out to be a win. --- This is what they call silence is golden; focusing on doing one's own thing is more effective than responding to anyone. --- That hits hard; it seems the previous wave of public opinion was all just to pave the way for the Allowlist. --- That's how Web3 is, today's enemy might be tomorrow's partner. --- It seems persistence and low profile are really the trump cards; the community will change their tune by themselves.

A typical "interest-driven stance", which is nothing new in the crypto world. --- To put it bluntly, when there are benefits, they are humble and obedient; when there are no interests, they output all sorts of things. This trick is too old. --- I find it strange how the stance has flipped in less than a year. Is it really the project party that has turned over a new leaf, or is the community collectively experiencing amnesia? --- Saying low-key delivery sounds nice, but in reality, it just means getting through the public opinion phase and that’s it. --- Apologizing in DMs just because they want an Allowlist quota? Laughable, this is called reality. --- So the belief of the Web3 community is worth this much, with just one spot able to buy it off. --- Sticking to a direction is useless, it still depends on what benefits can be provided to the community, that is the truth. --- Another act of "I was wrong, please forgive me". I've seen this too many times. --- In the face of interests, all stances are just clouds, no problem.

Really, in the face of利益, positions are as flimsy as paper, turning quickly haha That's Web3, as long as it can make money, anything can be said That's why I never follow the crowd to criticize projects, just wait and see how it goes To put it nicely, it's about sticking to the direction, but in fact, it's just about having tokens That group of critics back then is probably already on the list now.
