3/ Why is PumpFun offering high prices to poach talent? In the world of memes, wherever the front-runner is, that's where the attention goes. Fomo is using leaderboards + active content pushing to "artificially create stars," aiming to tie the front-runners and new smart money to their platform. But if the people leave, can the show still go on? Just look at how crucial top creators are to platforms like Douyin/TikTok or Bilibili. So, Pump is getting anxious. They've rolled out offers of $30K/month + a $20K signing bonus, paired with strict exclusivity agreements, hoping to bring the front-runners back to the Pump trenches. This includes, but is not limited to, deleting Fomo accounts and prohibiting any negative comments about Pump.
