Speaking of which, I’ve only met Elizabeth once.

Back then, I simply thought the content she posted on Twitter was pretty insightful, and her persona was likable. When we met, I shamelessly asked for a follow, and to my surprise, I actually got a whitelist spot—I was pretty happy about it at the time.

This recent donation fraud scandal has been making waves, but I haven’t dug deep into the details—I’m not really into that kind of thing. But I have to say, this incident is definitely a wake-up call for the community: you need to have a bottom line, especially in this space, where trust can collapse in an instant.

Sometimes, being a fan can cloud your judgment. No one really knows what’s hidden behind someone’s polished public image. Maintaining independent judgment is always more important than blindly following someone.
