Real talk: how many of you actually knew Financial Times even has a Person of the Year award? It's one of those things that sounds prestigious, but seems to fly under most people's radar. Worth a discussion—what's your take on major media awards and their impact on the industry?

NGL, I don't really care about this kind of award; it's all just a power game anyway.

Oh man, I've really never heard of this FT Person of the Year award... It feels like one of those self-congratulatory awards, right? The key is, its reach isn't that great either.

To be honest, I've never even heard of this award... But thinking about it, aren't these awards from major media just for the sake of generating buzz?

I've heard of it, but does this thing really change anything? It feels like just a tool to boost the mainstream narrative.

Honestly, I only recently found out about the FT award. I used to think it was just those few well-known ones. These kinds of awards are just media blowing smoke, the real influence on the market comes from the flow of institutional money. Don't overestimate the media's influence. Seeing these awards makes me think of when I was manipulated back then. Now I've learned to be smarter—just look at the data and don't follow the herd. What does popularity indicate? Awards that attention-seeking investors focus on often mean there are new bagholders about to jump in. Before going all-in, research the vested interests behind these awards. That's the advice from someone who’s been through it. Awards are everywhere. Now I only trust my holdings and wallet; everything else is just虚的.

Honestly, this award is basically useless; it's just a tool for vested interests to indulge themselves.
