After a deep analysis of the marketing tactics used by some liquidity mining projects, many insights have been uncovered. Take Bags as an example; its promotional focus is on users earning a 1% return, but the key information about the overall transaction fee rate of 2% is almost impossible to find on the page. This selective disclosure marketing strategy is indeed worth being cautious about.

What’s even more concerning are the technical issues. For instance, Meteora's dammv2 model does not support automatic liquidity addition. This is a clear deviation from the standard practices of some DEXs in the market, requiring users to operate manually, which greatly reduces the user experience. These design choices often reflect the project team’s true attitude towards user convenience and directly impact capital efficiency and long-term retention.

It's the same old trick again, claiming huge returns while hiding fees in the corner. Bags' recent move is truly unscrupulous; anyone can swallow a 1% sugar-coated bomb, but it depends on whether they dare to show the real fee rate upfront. Does Meteora still require manual liquidity addition? It's 2024 and they're still doing this; it's really disappointing. That's why I never touch those flashy projects—details reveal character. Selective disclosure is something I've seen too often; anyway, I only pay attention to projects that dare to show all their data. Speaking of which, it's impressive that such projects can still attract funds.

It's the same old trick again, 1% returns are exaggeratedly advertised, while a 2% fee is hidden in the corner. Honestly, manually adding liquidity is really exhausting. Why bother with such hassle? These projects are just trying to scam newbies, digging pits in the details. Meteora's operation is truly disappointing, far from matching other DEXs. Selective information disclosure is just cheating; it's an obvious scam project. Fortunately, someone is exposing these dark tricks, or else you'd really get cut. A 2% fee directly eats up the returns; no matter how you calculate it, it's not worth it.

It's the same old trick, hiding the key fee rates... --- Manually adding liquidity? I don't have that patience, just pass --- Bags' move is really clever, 1% yield is a big gimmick, the fee rate is hidden very deeply --- Meteora's design is so bad, it's even worse than using Curve --- I've seen many cases of selective disclosure, are people still throwing money into this? --- Automation is the way to go, projects that require manual operation can just stop bothering me --- Hmm... that's exactly why I refuse to touch new projects no matter what --- Such poor UX and still dare to call it a DEX? What's the point?

ngl, that 1% yield bait while burying the 2% fee is classic toxic flow manipulation. seen this pattern before... fees get sandwiched into the fine print while marketing screams the sexy numbers. classic misdirection

Basically, it's the old trick of cutting leeks, just changing the disguise to keep playing --- Bags' operation is excellent, I've seen enough of the sneaky hidden fee tricks --- dammv2 still requires manual liquidity addition? Bro, isn't that just being lazy --- It's another case of selective information disclosure, always the same routine. When will we see an honest project --- Damn, these detailed issues are the real pitfalls, user experience is extremely poor --- It's obviously something that was rushed to launch without proper planning --- The fee rate is ridiculously high and kept secret, incredible

It's that same old "hiding and concealing" trick again. I dislike this project team. --- Manually adding liquidity? Forget it, it's too much trouble. --- Blowing up a 1% return, but never mentioning the 2% fee rate—classic example. --- Details reveal character; Meteora's operation is indeed disappointing. --- Selective disclosure is just playing word games, exhausting. --- Looks like I need to be more cautious when choosing projects; too many pitfalls. --- Manual operation experience is truly top-notch. What more do you need than a bicycle?

It's the same game of selective disclosure again, really getting tired of it. Manually adding liquidity? Isn't that just indirectly reducing participation? 1% yield vs 2% fee, close enough, just relying on this information asymmetry to cut retail investors. Meteora's move is truly extraordinary, why can't it be automated? The project team's attitude towards the user experience is obvious, it's all in the details. These DEXs are not good enough; competition is the real way to change these. Getting excited over 1%, but the real joke is the fee rate behind it.

This is a typical sales pitch trap. A 1% return sounds pretty good at first, but after deducting fees, you're directly losing money. Manually adding liquidity? That's really impressive. With this level of difficulty, ordinary retail investors would have been discouraged long ago.
