TikTok first rewired attention by making endless clips go viral. Viewers can get tired of scrolling, yet the videos never stop.
TikTok first rewired attention by making endless clips go viral. Viewers can get tired of scrolling, yet the videos never stop.
The same formula is used by pump-and-flip schemes: traders can get tired of flipping and losing, but new tokens keep appearing.
TikTok tested thousands of clips to find a few hits; the on-chain meta tests thousands of tickers to find a few runners. Most fail, a few go 100x—power-law by design. Deployers have become the new creators, rewarded for speed and novelty.
Complaining doesn't change the system; adapting does. This isn't a market of companies, it's a market of moments.
Edge comes from faster filtering, smaller sizing, and compounding outliers. Flip stacks should be separated from core stacks. Attention should be rotated toward signal, not noise.
Maintain cash reserves, track hit rates, and avoid holding positions solely because of amplification by large accounts.
Infinite content made TikTok inevitable. Infinite tokens make meta rotation inevitable. The game won't stop—only players do. Adapting and evolving are the path to staying in the game; complaining won't pay the bills.
