When He Yi casually mentioned in a tweet that 'editors face fishing, extortion, insults, monetary temptations, and requests for help' every day, I suddenly felt a lump in my throat.
Those young people hidden behind the label 'Binance editors' have once again become invisible figures in public opinion.
Everyone only sees the anger when the MEME coin crashes, only the doubts when the 'wordplay' project is launched, yet no one asks: What are those young editors, who have become the 'scapegoats,' actually experiencing?
1. A doubt you express is the malice they have to bear.
Binance’s editor might be the most 'frustrating' position in the crypto world.
They have to scroll through hundreds of comments every day, responding to users' normal inquiries while filtering out phishing links, malicious harassment, and disgusting insults.
• Someone will send a fake 'Binance internal screenshot' privately to trick them into admitting a non-existent project;
• Someone will scold in the comment area, 'Why isn’t my coin listed', while also cursing the whole family;
• Even more, they directly send private messages with red envelopes: 'Help me hype this project, money is not an issue.'
These are not exaggerations, but daily realities personally confirmed by He Yi.
They earn an ordinary salary but have to bear the emotional garbage of millions of traffic.
When you shout 'editor come out to take the blame' in the group, you may not know that the person on the other side of the screen has just deleted the 20th abusive private message and is red-eyed verifying project information.
Two, 'accidentally interacting is recognized as a claim': they have to be cautious even when breathing.
He Yi's words reveal the editor's helplessness:
'Even if the management process is strict, it’s easy to accidentally have interactions and be seen as claims.'
Under the magnifying glass of the crypto world, every move of the editor is over-interpreted:
• Replying with 'noted' will be seen as a signal that 'the project is going to be listed on Binance';
• Liking a user comment will be interpreted as evidence of 'official endorsement';
• Even if it’s just retweeting an announcement, it will be nitpicked for 'implications'.
They are not KOLs, have no voice of He Yi, and even less traffic than CZ.
They are just a group of ordinary people who want to do their job well but are being roasted on the 'face of Binance'.
When the project rises, no one remembers that it was the editor who stayed up late writing the copy;
When a project collapses, everyone comes to scold 'editor why push this coin'.
Three, the one guarded by the sister is the 'gatekeeper' of Binance that should be seen the most.
He Yi said, 'Tonight is not a blow-up, not angry, just borrowing the lady’s building to say a few words', actually supporting the editor.
She didn’t let the editor take the blame but stood in front herself, accepting all the doubts:
• Explain the review logic of 'picky meme';
• Clarify the truth of 'editor interaction being misunderstood';
• They even use self-deprecation like '2G surfing old phones' to help everyone ease their emotions.
This is not a workplace drama of 'boss protecting employees', but the most touching background of Binance.
When the editor is scolded in the backend to the point of wanting to resign, someone stands up and says 'I understand your grievances';
When the outside world pours dirty water on the editor, someone stands up and says 'I'll take the blame'.
What He Yi protects is not just a position, but a group of 'gatekeepers' who diligently safeguard the community.
Four, don’t let 'editor' become the most wronged synonym in the crypto world.
Binance's editor is not a 'scapegoat hero', nor a 'tool person'.
They are the customer service still replying to users at three in the morning, the ones repeatedly verifying announcement details, and ordinary people who cannot retort even when misunderstood.
Next time when you want to type 'editor come out to explain' in the comments, can you pause for a second:
• They may have just handled hundreds of inquiries and don’t even have time to drink water;
• They may be fighting hard with the project party just to prevent users from falling into pits;
• They may also be like you, holding BNB, hoping for a better ecosystem.
He Yi said, 'Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t won't understand in the future', but I want to say on behalf of the editor:
We don’t need everyone to understand, just a bit more respect and a bit less abuse; a bit more understanding and a bit less misunderstanding.
After all, Binance’s throne has never been supported by KOLs, but by these editors who silently withstand malice, and by those offices with lights on in the early morning, built up little by little.
