Yaps Grind: Actual Alpha or Just Desperate Spam?

Origin

Once upon a timeline, yaps were supposed to measure mindshare.Now they measure how fast you can copy-paste a trending take before the feed refreshes.
Everywhere you scroll, it’s the same ritual:“gm alpha thread”“this changes everything”“bookmark this before it’s gone”
All for one reason, to hit the magic number.
January 2026 quietly flipped the game.No more accidental leaderboard appearances. No more vibing into eligibility.If you’re not crossing ~100 Yaps (and sometimes packing smart followers, rep scores, or on-chain receipts), you’re not even seen.
Some creators woke up “cooked.”Months of posting. Zero Yaps. Gone from boards.Others locked in harder, turning CT into a full-time Yap farm.
And the rest?They started asking the forbidden question:
Is this actual alpha…or just algorithmic begging with better formatting?

Mission

This Roast Market exists to roast the Yap Economy, not the people trapped inside it.
We’re here to roast:1. The transformation of mindshare into a grindset2. The idea that quantity equals relevance3. The leaderboard logic that turns creators into engagement NPCs4. The illusion that spam becomes alpha if the threshold is high enough5. The quiet shift from “share ideas” to “farm points or disappear”
We’re not here to mock creators chasing opportunity.We’re here to roast the system that makes desperation look like strategy.
Roast the 100-Yap cutoff turning CT into survival mode.Roast the optimization culture where formatting matters more than thinking.Roast the coping narratives when the points don’t hit.
Because when mindshare becomes a number, the timeline stops being a conversation and starts being a factory.
And that’s the real alpha hiding in plain sight.
