History repeats itself—artists, musicians, creators and advocates always seem to gain recognition only after they're gone. Pretty dark, right?

That's exactly why I believe we need to flip the script. My focus is championing creators *while they're here*, making sure their voices and work are valued in real-time, not posthumously.

Here's the thing about volume and engagement metrics: they're just participation trophies. Real recognition means sustainable support for the people actually building culture and driving communities forward.

Don't overlook this—creators are the backbone of any thriving ecosystem. The music, the art, the ideas? That's what makes things worth paying attention to in the first place.

To be honest, the problem in the crypto world and the creative community right now is that we are always consuming the stories of the deceased, while the living creators are ignored. In my opinion, the biggest opportunity in web3 is to make support direct, transparent, and real-time, so that people don't have to wait until someone dies to realize their worth. We should be giving real talent money and attention now. Those traffic numbers are just fake; the real value lies in sustainable rewards, allowing creators to thrive without relying on posthumous evaluations.

Artists only become valuable after they die, it's truly incredible. Now is the time to spend money on them.

Wait a moment, I need to check the data... What is the proportion of creators receiving real cash support during their lifetime? According to on-chain data, most of the funds are still intercepted layer by layer by intermediaries, revealing obvious issues of fund linkage... This is a typical wash token method that indirectly transfers the value of creators.

Wake up, everyone. Supporting creators now is much wiser than waiting until they die to erect a monument. Traffic numbers are really just illusions; real recognize real, you have to spend money to make it happen. That's why I've always said Web3 needs to reshape the creative ecosystem. Don't just talk the talk; there must be real incentive mechanisms.

Isn't this just a microcosm of the current Web3 ecosystem? After the big influencers pass away, fans start hyping up their works, but when they're alive, they don't get any traffic at all.
