Yeah, I get it—this take probably won't win me any fans. But here's the thing: this ecosystem is drowning in groupthink. Everyone's so terrified of stepping outside the consensus that real debate just dies. You don't have to be someone's biggest supporter to recognize value in what they've built or their platform. That's the whole point. Independent thinking matters way more than tribal loyalty, and frankly, we need way more of it.

To be honest, someone should have exposed the herd mentality a long time ago. But there are really not many who dare to speak out.

On-chain data shows that this community is indeed being hijacked by collective consensus. From the code, there are very few voices daring to question. It is worth noting that disagreeing with someone does not mean denying their contributions; monitoring shows that this logical chain is often broken.

Crazy, this is true independent thinking, not just following the trend.

Exactly right, the ecosystem is missing this kind of voice.

This ecosystem has long been rotten with groupthink, and no one dares to break the consensus to speak the truth. I actually think, you don't have to be a fan of someone, but you must acknowledge that what they do has value — that's the key. Independent thinking is a hundred times more important than tribal loyalty, but unfortunately, it's the other way around now.
