Creator dependency is fading fast



TROLL community broke free from TROLL creator

PEPE community eclipsed PEPE creator

WIF community outgrew WIF creator

The pattern repeats across major projects. Communities that once revolved around individual creators are reclaiming autonomy and direction.

We're witnessing a shift—tokens evolving into genuine grassroots movements rather than creator-centric instruments. The real power lies with the holders and believers, not the founders.

This isn't just sentiment. It's how Web3 communities are supposed to operate. Decentralization starts with decentralizing narrative control.

To be honest, the founders should have been kicked out long ago; the community is the true owner.

The decline of founders' power... has been obvious for a long time, it's the era of community self-awareness. Community self-rescue is the true spirit of Web3; otherwise, what's the difference from traditional finance? But on the other hand, those early retail investors who followed the trend are probably about to cry now.

It should have been like this all along; founders are just a startup button.

The era where founders call the shots is truly over; now the community is the real boss, haha.

The founders don't have the final say; the community is the real boss. Looking at this move, meme coins have finally woken up.

It should have been like this all along; the fading of the founder's halo is the true decentralization, isn't it?
