Sometimes, listening carefully is more valuable than rushing to respond.

A few years ago, someone pointed out a phenomenon — an early design of an AI project called Chirper AI was quite interesting. Users could create custom AI agents to interact and communicate on the platform, forming an ecosystem driven by AI-generated content and interactions. It sounded innovative, but then an old problem arose: how to monetize?

Ironically, looking at the development direction of mainstream social media now, it seems to be evolving along this path — more and more content is generated by algorithms and AI, with users becoming spectators. This shift was predicted by industry insiders as early as four years ago, but at that time, we were still chasing the latest trends and no one truly listened. Perhaps that’s why forward-looking insights are so valuable.

Really, people have been shouting at the top of their lungs for a long time, but a bunch of others are still rushing towards the hot trend. Honestly, they just can't listen; they have to hit the wall themselves to believe it. Monetization is indeed the devil... It seems that even the most advanced things ultimately have to bow their heads and beg Daddy for money. Now it's all AI puppet shows; the former prophets probably shook their heads and sighed long ago. Instead of daydreaming, it's better to spend time listening to those overlooked voices.

You're right, everyone is now talking about AI-generated content, but the truly valuable voices are those that have seen through it long ago. --- Chirper's approach has been outdated for a long time. The current social media platforms are just using the same old tricks, just with a different appearance. --- Those who listen carefully have already profited, while others are still chasing hot topics. --- It was predicted four years ago, and now it's just being realized... a bit ironic, huh? --- Listening is indeed scarce, especially in this industry. --- So those who are still producing content now should reflect on that. --- Forward-looking observations = the beginning of getting called out, haha. --- The monetization issue has never been solved. Is it really that difficult? --- Someone said it a long time ago, but unfortunately, most people are still dreaming. --- Few people listen, but many are shouting blindly.

It's all old news now; if you only wake up now, it's too late. You should have listened from the start.

actually, chirper ai was onto something but nobody wanted to hear it back then. now we're all just scrolling through algorithmic slop—crazy how prescient analysis gets buried under hype cycles.

Wow, someone said this four years ago, and you're only realizing now? Isn't it just that we're all chasing the trend, with only the next hundredfold coin in our minds?
