Something's shifted in the crypto space lately. I've been getting roughly 15 partnership pitches every month—mostly from gambling platforms looking for shills. The math is straightforward: share a link, watch your audience bet, collect the paycheck, rinse and repeat.

The money's real. It's tempting. But here's where it breaks down for me—those people who click the link? They don't just lose money and move on. They chase the losses. They're back next week, trying to recover. Then next month. The pattern sticks.

I keep thinking about that. Easy commission versus actual consequences. That's the tension sitting with me.
