This perspective indeed hits the core — the three-tiered progression path for contemporary creators is worth dissecting.

First is the foundational layer: personal interests are no longer just for leisure. AI tools enable everyone to convert passion into content assets at low cost. Writing, design, analysis — the barriers have been significantly lowered. But that’s not enough.

The key lies in the second layer: the attention war. Social media is the battlefield. No matter how high-quality your content is, without exposure, it’s dead. Therefore, successful creators must be social media strategists — understanding algorithms, engagement, and trending topics.

The third layer is the breakthrough in monetization. As token community models evolve, creators no longer rely solely on ad revenue. A cohesive community combined with token incentive mechanisms can generate exponential amplification effects. Community members are not only consumers but also disseminators and even asset holders. Personal brands, communities, and tokens form a closed loop.

This is the new definition of super individuals: interests that are sufficiently vertical + attention that is sufficiently focused + communities that are sufficiently active. The combination of these three is the true secret to monetization in the Web3 era.
