Why We Absolutely Need a Value Network in the Age of AI

With today's AI-powered toolchain, you can crank out a million-word novel in a single day. Then what? You upload it to one of the traditional web-novel platforms and—just to keep up the illusion that a human actually wrote it—you pretend to release one chapter a day, even though the entire thing was finished in 24 hours. But here's the thing: none of that actually gets you paid. Your income is tied to traffic, and traffic is tied to the ads baked into the pages. It's not even about reader subscriptions anymore, because the platforms give every novel away for free just to drive traffic—some even subsidize readers to keep them scrolling. And the novels raking in the most money? They're all what people call "power fantasies"—formulaic, instant-gratification junk. You can polish your novel until it gleams, and it still won't earn you a cent more, because that's simply not what the free audience is looking for. Unless you're already a household name who doesn't need a platform to get seen, writing has basically turned into a losing deal—you pour in way more than you ever get back. And now, with a flood of AI authors pouring in, an already overcrowded market is only going to sink further into a swamp of low-quality, zero-margin content. A value network—like the one built on BSV—is the only real way out. Readers can still enjoy novels for free, but authors earn from genuine engagement—comments, likes, micro-tips—not from ad impressions or free-riding traffic. Only truly great work gets rewarded, and that is what keeps creators fired up.

为什么在AI时代必须增加一个价值网络？

现在使用AI全流程工具，在一天内就可以创作一部100万字的小说，然后就可以将它上传到传统在线小说平台，为了让读者觉得这是一部由人类写成的小说，创作者不得不每天更新一章，虽然在一天内你就已经写完全部了。但是，这样并不会使你自动获得收入，因为收入与流量有关，而流量与嵌入小说的广告有关，甚至不是来自读者的订阅，因为平台为了增加流量，将所有小说免费对用户开放，甚至还补贴用户。盈利最好的小说全是被称为“爽文”的粗俗小说，你将这部小说打磨得特别好，并不会增加你的收入，因为这样并不会迎合免费用户。 除非你本来就是一个知名人物，你不需要依靠平台增大你的爆光量，不然写书已经成为了一件付出大于盈利的活动了。 而大量的AI作者的加入，将使本来就拥挤的市场进一步沦为粗制烂造、无利可图的领域。 而以BSV为代表的价值网络是唯一的解决办法，用户依然可以免费阅读小说，作者的盈利来自于用户的评论、点赞，而不是免费用户的流量，也不是广告商。只有好的作品才有更高的盈利，从而大大激发创作者的热情。
