Creators often face this question—how much is your content worth?

Consistently producing content, recording your ideas, and helping others grow—that is the true value. But how many fans you can attract and how much income you can earn from major project sponsors or industry influencers—that is the price.

The two are often not aligned. Sometimes high-quality content goes unnoticed for half a year, while trivial content can land big deals. In the short term, the market is like a voting machine—not voting for the best content, but for the creator who knows how to package and ride trending topics.

In this game, understanding the difference between price and value is essential to keep a clear mind.
