So called KOL

真是搞笑。

很多事，可以多听各方的意见，但做决定的一定是你自己。做自己认为正确的决定，让自己为自己的决定负责。

最近见了一些掌握着话语权的人，为了利益而变成别人的喉舌，一般来说我是可以置之不理的，不过当自己的牵涉其中，或者自己或喜欢的人的利益因此受到伤害的时候，我就会非常不爽了。

Some news agency and so called KOL never spare their efforts in wielding their influence over the intentionally or unintentionally ignorant  crowds. But wait, this is a long existed situation, why would I choose to speak against it at this time but not before? It's not until my interests or that of the people who I care about are compromised did I find it so unacceptable.

And what would I do to change the status quo? Nothing, I suppose. What I can do right now is to be a responsible actor in the heating debate, to listen closely to different parties and to make choices carefully. Who knows? Maybe I'll take a different side on the same issue if the my stance changes. And I can't guarantee that I'm not swayed by other people's words.

It's understandable to see people's opinions are pro or against sth on an issue, but I'll reserve mine and stand up for it, even at the risk of presenting my opinion when being manipulated. But that exactly explains why I should make prudent comment on a topic, I want to be sure that I'm ready to take the heat when I say sth on a controversial topic.
