Thank you so much for your comment — we truly appreciate your feedback and want to be fully transparent with you.

The reason our Twitter follower count appears relatively high is because, during 2023 and 2024, we collaborated with several projects and KOLs through community campaigns on platforms like Zealy, Galxe, and in partnership with projects such as Metahub, with the goal of growing our presence.

However, in December 2024, we received valuable feedback from the community expressing concern about this approach. Since then, we’ve completely stopped running any social media growth campaigns with external projects.

From December 2024 until now, we’ve been operating without any funding support, and have focused on building the community organically — especially through Telegram and by creating original content.

We’ve taken these lessons seriously. While engagement is harder in this market environment, we’ve prioritized depth over numbers, shifting focus away from rapid growth toward long-term, value-driven community building.

Regarding the website, we recommend checking out the Videos section here: https://y.aiweb3.org/videos. This part of the platform automatically syncs original YouTube content from our community content creators. Community members can support their favorite videos using tokens or points they've earned through active participation.

What makes this unique — and a first-of-its-kind product in the Polkadot ecosystem — is how it evaluates content quality. Since points must be earned through real engagement in our discord and telegram community, it's much harder for fake accounts or bots to influence results. Only genuinely active users can earn enough points and use their points to uplift the content they value, making the system more trustworthy and transparent.

Details about the team and our social media activity are fully outlined in the proposal (https://docs.google.com/document/d/11SyQBq5tjyhSUYjjwQxOKv_jhhooXygzdPtwQrlvbto/edit?usp=sharing), and we’re happy to answer any follow-up questions. For more background, our team attended both the Web3 Summit in Berlin and Polkadot Decoded 2024 in Singapore — with video interviews available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwagHyuC9gDBkXosAgUc1UyX0ILoreWkQ

Thanks again for sharing all of your concern and keeping us accountable — it helps us improve. Please let us know if you still have any questions!

Edited

This is yet another recycled Chinese marketing proposal dressed up with fluff and bots. There is no serious substance here, just an endless loop of vanity metrics, Telegram point systems, and meaningless AMAs.

Let’s be honest: this didn’t get traction in MB, and now it’s dumped on the treasury as a fallback. When do we finally build a system that filters for actual value, rather than giving endless lifelines to anyone who knows how to dress up a Google Doc?

The Polkadot ecosystem does not need more recycled content farms. We already have sufficient Chinese language marketing channels that are actually adding value. This is duplication at best, dilution at worst.

You want real engagement? Fund hackathons. Fund developer onboarding. Fund toolkits, real integrations, and open infrastructure, not gamified Discord stickers, fake AI wrappers, and YouTube shills.

And now we’re funding the creation of a meme coin to buy t-shirts? Come on. We need to draw a hard line somewhere. This kind of proposal cheapens the legitimacy of the treasury and distracts from the people actually building.

I urge everyone to NAY this proposal outright.

As a member of the AIWeb3 Chinese community, I want to share my full support for this proposal. The AIWeb3 team has continued to build community and provide high-quality content over the past months despite financial challenges, showing admirable professionalism. They are not just an ordinary community, but a key bridge connecting the Chinese-speaking world with the Polkadot ecosystem.

Polkadot has long had a relatively weak presence in Chinese-speaking regions, lacking effective communication channels and localized content. The AIWeb3 Chinese community has excellently filled this gap, creating a significant platform for Polkadot's promotion in the Asia-Pacific region. Through their professional content creation and community management, Polkadot's technical concepts and ecosystem development have been able to reach users in mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia, filling an important market void.

I particularly appreciate the team's shift toward authentic organic growth. Unlike their earlier reliance on promotional campaigns, they now focus on creating genuinely valuable content and building active community interactions, which is especially important in the Web3 sphere. Their video platform innovatively addresses content evaluation issues—by allowing genuinely active users to determine which content is valuable, they've created a fairer, more transparent system.

AIWeb3's commitment to deliver 600 original content pieces, 96 high-quality videos, and 52 ecosystem weekly reports in the next 12 months will bring tremendous value to the entire Polkadot Chinese community. This is not just about quantity, but about quality and impact. As confirmed by many community members, the AIWeb3 team members remain highly active, patiently answering questions and guiding new users to explore the Polkadot ecosystem.

As a community with users across multiple countries and regions, AIWeb3 has become one of Polkadot's most important voices in the Asia-Pacific region, breaking down language and cultural barriers, enabling more Chinese users to understand and accept Polkadot's technological innovations and ecosystem. Without bridges like AIWeb3, Polkadot's voice in these regions would be severely diminished.

Technology is important, but equally important is explaining these technologies to ordinary people in accessible ways. AIWeb3 excels in this regard, enabling more people without technical backgrounds to understand and participate in the blockchain world. Supporting this proposal means supporting the continued education and development of the Polkadot ecosystem in the global Chinese community.

I believe that investing 185,240 USDT to support this proposal will bring returns and impact for the Polkadot ecosystem far exceeding this amount. Especially in the current competitive global blockchain environment, maintaining and strengthening Polkadot's influence in the Asia-Pacific region is crucial to the long-term success of the entire ecosystem. I hope all voters will support this proposal, allowing the AIWeb3 team to continue their excellent work, creating a broader presence for Polkadot in the Chinese-speaking world!

Can the Marketing Bounty members provide context on why they were not able to provide feedback on this referendum when submitted to the Marketing Bounty for 4 months when delays were previously denied here: https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1531#cB0ktv9qNFy6H71jgX3b
but this seems to be a clear case of marketing bounty delays.

Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our first vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Medium Spender track requires 50% quorum and simple majority of non-abstain voters according to our voting policy v0.2, and any referendum in which the majority of members vote abstain receives an abstain vote. This proposal has received zero aye and six nay votes from ten available members, with three members abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

In the recent referendum, the majority of voters expressed skepticism regarding the proposal, suggesting it should be handled by the marketing bounty instead. Concerns were raised about the unclear potential impact and the broad scope of activities included. Several voters emphasized the need for improved transparency and timely updates from the marketing bounty, particularly regarding pending proposals. A few opted to abstain, citing uncertainty about the funding source and advocating for a more focused approach to ensure measurable outcomes.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.
