The core of the attention economy lies in chasing the hottest and most trending information, while uncovering little-known alpha insights (such as early "first mines") can also be profitable. Although these two approaches may seem contradictory, their underlying essence can be summed up in one word: early.
Whether it’s attention PVP or hidden alpha insights, the essence of profitability is being early or fast. However, being early is only a necessary condition, not a sufficient one; the common prerequisite is that the endeavor itself must have a positive expected value.
With this understanding, the paths become clear: either compete on explosiveness or endurance. From there, you can choose the profit-making style that best suits your own approach.
