Many people have ideas about the management of large exchanges, but the root cause is that they imagine these figures to be too perfect. Once it is discovered that they are also directing traffic to their own blockchain ecosystems, it becomes unacceptable. But upon closer reflection, this is actually normal.

Comparing the Solana ecosystem, why are there fewer complaints from the community? Because everyone understands that the ecosystem there is a priority from the start, without excessive expectations.

From a different perspective, the roles of industry leader, major shareholder of an exchange, and promoter of a public chain are not mutually exclusive. One person can be both a market opinion leader and also make long-term plans for their assets and ecosystem. Understanding this, many frustrations are actually alleviated.

In other words, it's a character collapse, and the expectations were not well managed. --- Solana has been very upfront from the start, so there aren't many complaints. The logic is quite clever. --- Don't always expect perfection; conflicts of interest are normal. The key is transparency. --- I understand, but can we clarify the flow diversion in advance? Doing it secretly feels a bit off. --- Haha, so essentially it's a problem of information asymmetry. --- The Solana example hits the point; it really is a difference in expectation management. --- People can't be both athletes and referees, but that's how the crypto world operates. --- This is the kind of honesty Web3 should have—no need to pretend to be pure.

That's right, everyone is just hoping management is a saint. Wake up, everyone—who doesn't act when there's profit involved?

That's right, the higher the expectations, the harder the fall. Instead of blaming the exchange, it's better to adjust your mindset; everyone needs to eat.

Basically, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. People always want to treat the big shots as saints, but in the end, they are just businessmen. It's very normal for them to consider their own ecosystem.

There's nothing wrong with that; it's just that everyone has too high expectations for the CEOs of major exchanges. SOL is actually living more comfortably because they laid everything out from the beginning.

Exactly right, it's just human nature. Who doesn't want their assets to appreciate?

Basically, don't treat people as gods; it's normal to have conflicts of interest. SOL is more straightforward and doesn't have as many shattered illusions and dramatic scenes.

Wait, isn't traffic diversion just black box fund manipulation? The reason the Solana community complains less is because everyone is numb, it's not about "knowing it clearly in their hearts"... On-chain data is crystal clear.
