In the affiliate community, hobbies often become not just entertainment, but a source of inspiration, inner peace, and even a whole philosophy. Lead Panda continues to introduce you to the hobbies of people who develop the industry every day. Today, an unexpected hobby is tea ceremonies. Valeriy, Head of FB at SPT My first tea ceremony took place in 2023. I was first “dragged” into tea by my girlfriend, who is now my wife. It was our relationship anniversary, and we decided to celebrate it in an interesting way: we went to a Chinese tea ceremony. We drank high-mountain oolong from Taiwan, listened to an extremely interesting lecture, and drank 6 liters of tea together with the master in the evening.

Now imagine that they would have thrown the same money at 10 micro-influencers... and would have closed the plan. That's it. The classic era of the "race to the bottom" is officially dead. Now it's "who really influences" that rules, not "who has the most pomp". Ukrainian businessmen are talking about this as well. Who are micro and nano bloggers? Type Audience Nano-blogger 1,000-10,000k followers Micro-blogger 10,000-50,000k followers That is, these are not distant superstars, but normal "people of your own" whom the audience really listens to and trusts.
