Virtual ecological lack of explosive AI Agents, is Vader one of them?

After yesterday's article was published, many readers in the comments section asked me how I feel about the Vader project.

Vader is probably one of the most exposed AI Agents in the Virtual ecosystem. Not to mention anything else, just the Yapping it conducts attracts a lot of participants' attention every day.

I hold it, but I haven't participated in its Yapping activities at all, so I'm not very clear about the gameplay involved.

Some time ago, it launched a project rating activity. I really liked that rating and almost checked it every day.

I have written in my article that I only consider its rating as a reference and will not use it 100% as my own criterion for participating in projects.

I also do not fully agree with its rating results, but I greatly appreciate some of the viewpoints it expressed during the rating process.

Regardless of how its ratings turn out, having such reference information is actually quite rare for many participants.

However, when it first initiated the ratings, I was a bit worried for it. Because I could guess that the outcome of this rating would not be very good.

There must be a part of the community that will use its ratings as a standard for their project participation. Once the projects they participate in deviate significantly from expectations, they will not first reflect on where their thinking went wrong, nor will they introspect on their responsibility as adults for their actions, but will instead attribute the outcome to the project rating.

Can Vader withstand such pressure and continue to move forward?

Sure enough, not long after, the Vader project team could not bear the pressure and terminated the rating activity.

Since the cancellation of the ratings, it seems that the project team has shifted its focus to Yapping.

In my view, the actual significance of Yapping is far less than that of the ratings. Because while ratings are difficult and not easy to conduct, they are a genuine need for users. The current stage of Yapping, however, is purely marketing without any actual business support; it does not address users' genuine needs.

Therefore, the current situation of Vader is that it has not solved any genuine needs and has not produced services and products that can actually meet user demands.

Comparing Vader with Mamo and the video project I mentioned earlier makes this clear: the latter two either directly provide value-added services to users or directly meet users' "emotional" needs.

Thus, the development of this project to its current state feels rather mediocre to me.

However, the project team recently claimed to be integrating ACP, hoping to provide users with a one-stop automated service from ratings, collateral to investment in the future.

Let's wait and see what this vision and its effects will be.

Another reader asked what the danger would be if, in a few months, Virtual does not produce any AI Agents that can truly meet genuine needs.

The danger I refer to primarily means that the popularity and enthusiasm gathered in the entire ecosystem so far will dissipate.

Once the popularity and enthusiasm dissipate, its attractiveness to developers and participants will decline, and this decline will make it very difficult to nurture new good projects. Without a continuous influx of new projects to supplement this ecosystem, its development will gradually wither.

This withering will ultimately reflect on the coin price, dragging it down.

During this period, compared to Virtual, it seems that Creator.bid is gaining more momentum, with many online KOLs turning to the latter's ecosystem to seek profits.

Creator.bid's current highlight is that it has made significant improvements in project launches, hoping to filter out poor projects as much as possible through reviews.

This intention is good, but this method can at most filter out poor projects and cannot select good ones.

In my view, the most critical aspect of the development of the AI + Crypto ecosystem right now is the need for good projects that can solve genuine needs, where users are willing to pay real money for services/products from AI Agents.

Without such good projects, even if there is no exit scam project, leaving behind a bunch of projects that seem to be "working hard" but actually do not solve any problems in the ecosystem is meaningless.

So in the short term, I appreciate the Creator.bid team's dedication and efforts, but in the long term, it faces potential problems similar to Virtual:

When will there be a batch of AI Agents that can generate profits and real income?
