This project is playing pretty aggressively on the testnet. Every time there's a new activity, you have to pay, like 0.1U, 0.5U, the amounts don't seem significant, but the frequency is intense. Even more outrageous is that for the final airdrop harvest, you need to pay over 3U to participate. Small amounts are deducted daily, while big money is taken in one go at the end—this operation is truly classic.

There's a saying I finally understand now—it’s like a warden, treating all participants as prisoners. You're exploited daily, charged under various pretenses, and in the end, you willingly pay a "tip" to receive the airdrop. As long as the project team can count on you to keep participating, the cutting never stops.

A typical vampire project, small frequent cuts + large final kill. I've seen this tactic many times. Once you're trapped, don't expect to get out. Just wait to be harvested. Testnet is like this, the mainnet will be even harsher. By then, airdrops might not be claimable at all. 0.1U, 0.5U, insignificant? But they come every day, and that's the clever part. The project team has nailed our psychology; you have to participate to have a chance, getting cut down tightly. It feels like everyone involved has become a miner in the mining farm. Heartbreaking for the wallet.

Another scheme to cut leeks, a recursive charging method, players are always the big losers. Testnet is like this, the mainnet will be even more ruthless. Repeatedly earning 0.1U, finally taking a 3U cut, a typical slow boil frog. These days, anyone daring to play airdrops should be prepared for repeated harvests. Project team: Whether you want to participate or not, I have plenty in my pocket. Basically, they treat participants as ATMs, making small frequent deductions, then taking large cuts at the end—no black or criminal group is more professional. I've seen many projects operate like this, and every time someone falls for it, it's truly astonishing.

It's the same old trick, small frequent deductions, followed by a big harvest—classic case.

This is so classic, this is the standard slow-boiling frog, by the time you realize it, you've been completely cut clean. --- Frequent harvesting like 0.1U, 0.5U, only when it reaches 3U+ can you truly participate. It's really disgusting. I've never seen such blatant behavior. --- The prison warden analogy is perfect. The project team really thinks our IQ is zero. --- That's why I'm no longer interested in most testnet projects. Why bother? --- Haha, this is hilarious. Small amounts multiple times, large amounts once—this combination of cutting leeks is quite interesting. --- As long as they can keep harvesting, it never ends. Very spot on. This is the true portrayal of some Web3 projects.

The prison warden metaphor is brilliant. I'm starting to wonder if I'm truly participating in the project or just being cut like a leek.

Typical bait project. Next time I see this routine, I will blacklist it directly. Starting from 0.1U to cut, ending with 3U to close the position, pure sheep wool套娃. Really, this kind of frequent small charges is the most disgusting. It's better to cut it all at once. It's another "participation equals loss" airdrop scheme. Learned my lesson. The project team is just taking advantage of our FOMO psychology, brilliant. This is more expensive than just bottom-fishing... a bit outrageous. Next time I see this pattern, I will withdraw. Don't waste transaction fees.

The prison warden analogy is brilliant—this is a live leek farming operation. --- 0.1u 0.5u sounds not much, but how many times do you get cut in a month? And you still have to spend 3u to receive the airdrop, outrageous. --- I've seen this kind of cutting method many times; it's just betting that you can't bear to give up the effort you've put in earlier. --- The testnet is so ruthless; if it happens on the mainnet, we'll observe and see. --- Requiring 3u to participate in this airdrop operation is really crazy. Who does the project team want to involve? --- Small frequent amounts + a final large cut—this tactic is indeed classic, but unfortunately, being classic doesn't mean it's profitable.
