Different KOLs each have their own fan communities, but there's an interesting phenomenon worth pondering—do fans and KOLs really have an inherent opposition?

Especially when an account's followers surpass 10,000, many people automatically start to think "what the big V says is just nonsense." But the question is, is this attitude a rational doubt or simply a rebellious psychology?

Often, the fans who seem to have the most autonomy are actually the most easily attracted to the viewpoints of another KOL—any voice that "opposes the big V" automatically gets a high score. Isn't this still being led by the KOL?

Interestingly, grassroots voices and top-tier opinions don't seem to be a binary relationship. Perhaps it's more worth considering: how can we find our own standards of judgment among many viewpoints, rather than simply judging trustworthiness based on follower count.

Basically, it's just switching to another KOL to continue being led by the nose, fooling oneself.

That's right, opposing authority itself is also a form of authority.

Basically, it's just switching to a different KOL to continue being scammed. This logic is truly brilliant. After surpassing 10,000 followers, they start the "I'm very rational" mode, but it's just the same old story. Thinking that reverse operation means independent thinking? Still just taking cues from others. The worst is this kind of "I oppose your opposition," who wins in this layered game of dolls? Judgment criteria? Ha, it's easy to say but hard to do. Most people are just following the crowd like puppets. Packaging rebellious psychology as doubt—I've been tired of this routine for a long time. True autonomy in Web3 is probably a luxury, right?

At the end of the day, it's still the mentality of the retail investors at play. Data speaks for itself. Looking at follower count? It's better to observe the flow of funds in major addresses. Genuine rational judgment relies on on-chain data. Don't care who is hyping or criticizing; the flow of funds never lies. On-chain behavior of 100,000 followers and 1,000 followers isn't much different. Instead, be wary of addresses with suddenly skyrocketing concentration. This kind of opposing mentality is essentially brainwashed. Switching from one KOL's viewpoint to the opposition still results in being led around by the nose. The key is whether real contract audits have been conducted and the fund flows tracked; that's the standard for judgment. Follower count is just a number; the real red flags are in the smart contracts.

Haha, opposing the big V's voice automatically gets high scores. Isn't this just serving a different master?

Honestly, this is a vicious cycle. Those who oppose the big V are actually brainwashed by another big V. If it weren't for the dislike of authority psychology at play, who the hell would bother to think for themselves?

That's right, opposing big V accounts is just high-level fandom? Haha, it's just switching to a different master.
