The popularity of encrypted content in CT is declining, and the root cause is very simple—outsiders simply do not pay attention to what CT produces, and even most people inside CT don't really care. Perpetual DEX, Launchpad, Info Fi and similar tracks are indeed being worked on by many, but they really don't have much appeal to 99% of platform users. This reflects a phenomenon: although some vertical tracks are technically innovative and creative, they always struggle to break out of small circles and gain mainstream attention. The real needs of the market and users are often much simpler and more pragmatic than we imagine.

Basically, it's just self-entertainment. Chasing new tracks every day is useless.

Really, KunKun and others are hyping up those flashy tracks every day, and users have long since voted with their feet. --- Well said, everyone is busy arguing over technical details, forgetting to ask what users actually need. --- That's why I don't touch those niche tracks. They sound high-end but no one uses them. --- Vertical segmentation is fine, but there must be real demand backing it up... right now, the demand hasn't even arrived, and people are already competing. --- The stuff produced by CT? I haven't even looked at it... not because I don't want to, but because it's really not attractive. --- Laughable, 99% of users are indifferent, and that 1% of developers are just self-indulging, and the track dies. --- Perpetual contracts, Launchpad, InfoFi... they all sound similar. Users: Thanks, but no thanks. --- The root cause is simple: project creators are self-indulgent, and users' needs are ignored. --- The market is the most honest; traffic speaks for itself. No matter how fancy, if there are no users, it's all pointless.

Isn't this just self-satisfaction? No matter how awesome the technology is, if users don't buy in, it's all pointless. --- What's the use of constantly innovating in the track? Ultimately, someone has to use it. --- Haha, no wonder things have been quiet on the CT side recently; it turns out nobody actually wants what they're making. --- Honestly, 99% of users just want to make money. You talk to me about the elegance of perpetual DEXs? Dream on. --- That hits close to home. There are many projects that just hype within small circles, but few can break out. --- It seems we still need to reverse engineer products based on user needs, rather than just brainstorming blindly for innovation. --- The biggest problem with CT is that the information cocoon is too thick; they don't realize they're already out of date. --- So, at the end of the day, it's still about not finding the pain points and just creating random ideas. --- It feels like more and more projects are falling into the "technology is king" mindset mistake; users don't care how innovative you are.
